Shark tracking doesn’t stop when a SPOT tag goes silent. While OCEARCH may lose signals from SPOT tags after a few years, each shark is also fitted with a surgically implanted acoustic tag. These tags send signals to acoustic array receivers whenever a shark comes within half a mile, giving researchers long-term insights into shark movements and behavior. We’re also excited to share that our team is back on the water in collaboration with the Tancook Islands Marine Field Station Stay tuned as we

Quint is a white shark being tracked on the OCEARCH Global Shark Tracker, and his movements are helping scientists unlock critical knowledge about shark behavior and ocean ecosystems. By studying where Quint travels, researchers can better understand migration routes, feeding grounds, and how apex predators like white sharks maintain the health of our seas. Each ping from his tag provides real-time data that advances shark conservation, informs global research, and protects the future of our oce
