Woods Hole Group and Shark Week!

It's #SharkWeek! Did you know our technology has been and will be featured throughout the week?

🦈 Sharks are within the top three marine animals tagged by Argos, partially due to their iconic nature but also because they are top, apex predators. Biologists interested in tracking their movements and habitat utilization have a variety of tools at their disposal, from transmitters that send acoustic signatures to those that communicate with Argos satellites. To collect the data and locations transmitted by Argos tags, Woods Hole Group, Inc. CLS Group (Collecte Localisation Satellites) use nine polar-orbiting satellites and a network of ground stations around the globe.

🌊 By Shark Week 2025, we will have expanded the satellite constellation by adding 25 new satellites. This significant investment into better understanding our planet's resources will provide more accurate near real-time locations at a higher frequency. Argos continues to be the only satellite system that is suitable for tracking the migrations of marine megafauna. We are looking forward to the advancements of the system and how those will contribute to further knowledge of these iconic species.

A big thanks to James Sulikowski and his Marine and Coastal Opportunities - Oregon State University Sulikowski Lab!
