Topp.org, the website of Tagging for Pacific Pelagics, allows viewers to "see" a variety of individual marine animals and track their movements. Track the movements of salmon sharks, shortfin mako sharks, northern elephant seals, and a black footed albatross, to name a few.
On the site, click on the icon of an animal to learn that individual's name. Click on the logo in the upper left corner of the screen to view the movements of the animal in almost real-time. You'll also see data on the surface temperature where the animal was swimming, as well as other data scientists are collecting with this ongoing project.
Also on the topp.org site, you can read up on the latest ocean news, follow the blog, see the photo of the day, and much more! For anyone interested in the ocean and marine life, this is a fun and informative site to check out.
