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.

这个项目向公众传达了一系列研究成果，使用最先进的声学技术来监测沿海托儿所中幼鲨的长期活动模式。水族馆游客将体验一场互动的现场鲨鱼展览，旨在模仿鲨鱼监控。来自研究研究的鲨鱼运动的互动动画被整合到展品中，并将在视频监视器上进行解释，而鲨鱼在展品水箱中游泳时会激活探测器，显示其位置和运动。该展览是为所有年龄段的参观者设计的，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托儿所，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Mote海洋水族馆以及网络广播和远程学习元素进行传播。
