A new real-time messaging network uses a well-established maritime navigation safety technology—the Automatic Identification System—to reduce the risk of vessel strikes involving North Atlantic right whales.
To track the movements of whales, scientists and emergency responders use electronic tags. These tags rely on the same technology—telemetry—that lets people navigate with GPS or find a lost smartphone.
Join us for a celebration of whales while learning more about the types of technology we use to study these iconic animals, how to watch whales responsibly, and how you can help whales.
