Shark Tracker: Demonstrating the Use of Acoustic Telemetry to Track Sharks

该项目向公众介绍了一项研究，利用最先进的声学技术监测沿海托儿所幼鲨的长期运动模式。 水族馆的游客将体验一个互动的现场鲨鱼展览，旨在模仿鲨鱼监测。 来自研究研究的鲨鱼运动的互动动画被集成到展览中，并将在视频监视器上进行解释，而鲨鱼在展览水箱中游泳时会激活显示其位置和运动的探测器。 该展览专为所有年龄段的游客设计，展示了研究项目的工作原理，并解释了鲨鱼如何利用沿海海湾作为育儿区，以及这些区域对幼鲨的生存至关重要。 通过每年接待400 000多名游客的莫特海洋水族馆以及通过网络广播和远距离学习的方式进行传播。

This project communicates to public audiences a body of research using state-of-the-art acoustic technology to monitor the long-term movement patterns of juvenile sharks in a coastal nursery. Aquarium visitors will experience an interactive live shark exhibit designed to mimic shark monitoring. Interactive animations of shark movements from the research study are integrated into the exhibit and will be explained on video monitors while a shark swimming in an exhibit tank activates detectors showing its location and movement. Designed for visitors of all ages, the exhibit demonstrates how the research project works and explains how sharks use coastal bays as nursery areas and how these areas are critical to the survival of young sharks. Dissemination is through the Mote Marine Aquarium that receives over 400,000 visitors annually, and through web cast and distance-learning elements.
