Follow our Satellite-Tagged Sharks
In the past 50 years, over 80% of all sharks have disappeared. At this rate, extinction of the ocean’s top predator is imminent… unless we decide to save them.
RJD is making waves in the world of science using advanced satellite technology that allow real-time tracking of tagged sharks. This study focuses on Hammerhead, Bull and Tiger Sharks due to their critical status on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
By observing how these sharks navigate the ocean, RJD scientists will be able to inform policymakers where to focus their marine protection efforts for the best results. This data will also provide illuminating safety information for recreational ocean users.
