How are marine animals moving around when they are deep below the
ocean's surface? It's a fascinating question, and one that has driven
the work of part of Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial
Research Organisation (CSIRO). On this website, visitors can see the
"tracks" of selected marine animals tagged by CSIRO and partner
agencies. It's an amazing experience, and visitors just need to download
a small plug-in to get started. Some of the marine animals here include
white sharks patrolling Australia's southern coast and bluefin tuna on
their oceanic migrations. The About area is a great way to learn about
the research and technology involved with this complicated endeavor.
Also, visitors can check out the low-tech/accessible version of the site
if they are so inclined.
