Shark Tracking Website is Live!
Thursday, May 6, 2010 at 04:39PM We're proud to announce the tournament's shark satellite tracking website is now live and can be viewed at: http://www.wildlifetracking.org/index.shtml?project_id=483
The first shark affixed with a satellite tag in the Guy Harvey Ultimate Shark Challenge, "Bucky's Baby" has been reporting in at the surface and transmitting her location approximately twice a day since her release this Past Saturday. As part of our vision and initiatives in this tournament, anyone with an internet connection can follow her movements, along with any other sharks we'll be tagging in the future.
This state-of-the-art, interactive site includes:
- The option for viewers to subscribe to a daily project update by email (works great if you're interested in the day-by-day movements)
- Additional tournament info with links
- Specifics on Bucky's Baby and general information on bull sharks
- An option to "Adopt" Bucky's Baby to help fund the research
See more photos and commentary about thecapture, tagging and release of Bucky's Baby in a first-hand report by the Shark Brothers.
More information about the specific scientific objectives of the tournament can be viewed here.
A special thanks to everyone involved in making this happen.
