Scientists Tag Sharks to Gather Ocean Data That Could Improve Hurricane Forecasts
Researchers at the University of Delaware are using sharks as living ocean sensors to better predict hurricane behavior. Electronic tags fitted on the sharks continuously record water temperature, salinity, and depth as the animals swim through the Atlantic Ocean. This data is expected to give scientists a clearer picture of the ocean conditions that drive hurricane intensification. The initiative reflects a growing effort to leverage marine life for environmental monitoring purposes.
