Acoustic Telemetry<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To better understand the spatial and temporal movements of the bull sharks that visit Playa del Carmen each year, we have implemented an acoustic telemetry system that allows us to track them along the entire coastline of the state.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How the Telemetry System Works<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

The telemetry system consists of two main components: a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is attached to the sharks and emits an unique ultrasonic signal, which is detected by receivers positioned along the coastline, at distances of up to 1 km.\n
\nTo access the recorded data, each receiver must be periodically retrieved and downloaded. The technology we use is universal, meaning the same detection system can monitor any tagged organism worldwide\u2014including fish, turtles, mollusks, and more\u2014enabling the creation of large-scale, collaborative monitoring networks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Conventional Tagging<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis method uses conventional \u201cspaghetti\u201d tags that include the organization\u2019s contact information, allowing individual animals to be identified if recaptured. When sharks are caught alive, they can be released, and when they are caught dead, valuable information about their movement patterns can still be obtained. These recaptures are reported by fisheries via phone or email, contributing important data to our monitoring efforts.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The transmitter is attached to the sharks and emits an ultrasonic code that is detected by receivers (up to 1 km away) located along the entire coast of the state. To retrieve the information, each receiver must be retrieved for interrogation.

Conventional Tagging: This type of tagging is done with conventional spaghetti-type tags that contain the organization's data. It allows for the identification of specimens that, when captured alive, can be released, or, when captured dead, can provide information about their movement patterns. This data is reported from the fisheries via telephone or email. Adopt a Shark: To follow the trajectory of one of the sharks tagged by Saving Our Sharks. ADOPTION PROCESS Satellite Tagging: This type of tagging makes it possible to temporarily track sharks in real time. Saving Our Sharks, in conjunction with MOTE Marine Laboratory and the Texas State Aquarium, tagged 6 sharks, including adult and juvenile tiger sharks, which have yielded unprecedented trajectories!
