Hey OCEARCH Crew! 🌊 Ever wondered how our Global Shark Tracker works — or why sometimes it looks like a shark swims across land? Each shark carries a SPOT tag that connects to the Argos satellite system, but they only ping when they come to the surface. That means there can be gaps in time and space between pings. If those pings are near a peninsula or coastline, the Tracker draws a straight line between them — even if it cuts across land. We don’t “guess” the route — we show you the real data.

We can give you a glimpse of OCEARCH Sharkives: Chapter 25… but the full story lives exclusively inside Tracker . Unlock the episode and more now. Plus, dive into the moments we can’t show anywhere else. 🌊🦈 | OCEARCH

Sub-adult male white shark Ripple is making moves! 🦈 Ripple’s migration showcases the remarkable distance white sharks travel along the Northwest Atlantic each year, following shifting water temperatures, prey availability, and seasonal patterns. Every ping helps scientists better understand shark movement, habitat use, and the important role these apex predators play in maintaining ocean balance. Track Ripple and other sharks in real time on the OCEARCH Global Shark Tracker App or visit ocearc

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

Before every expedition day begins, the OCEARCH crew puts in hours of preparation to make sure the team is ready for safe and successful shark research. In this update, Chris Fischer explains the critical role weather plays in planning and how Brett and DJ’s precision ensures the crew has the best chance at productive fishing and science workups. From monitoring conditions to fine-tuning the vessel’s readiness, this behind-the-scenes look shows how much work happens before the first line even hi
