OCEARCH Shark Tracker™

Track Sharks and Other Ocean Animals

OCEARCH Shark Tracker™ lets you follow tagged sharks, turtles, and other marine animals on interactive maps. It suits ocean enthusiasts, students, and anyone interested in marine research, migration, or conservation. The map shows reported movements as animals surface and transmit location data through satellite tags.

Explore Each Animal’s Route

Select an animal to view its profile, species information, tagging history, and recorded movements. The app helps you see how individual animals travel over time rather than presenting ocean wildlife as a collection of isolated facts. You can also follow animals for updates and return to their routes as new tracking data appears.

• Interactive maps for tracking tagged marine animals
• Animal profiles with species and tagging details
• Movement records that show migration patterns
• Options to follow selected animals
• Educational facts about ocean life and research

Built Around OCEARCH Research

The app comes from Ocearch.org, a nonprofit research organization focused on ocean science and conservation. Tracking information can help support research, education, conservation planning, policy, management, and public understanding of marine animals. Location reports are based on satellite signals from tags and may appear when an animal’s tag reaches the surface.
