Ocean Tracking Network

Our director of data operations, Jon Pye, has accepted a nomination to co-chair the AniBOS Data Management Committee, joining an active international team working to advance how animal-borne ocean data are processed, standardized, and shared across the global community. 🌊

AniBOS (Animal-Borne Ocean Sensors) is part of the GOOS Global Ocean Observing System and represents a truly innovative approach to ocean observing—using bio-logging technologies to turn marine animals into data collectors in some of the most remote and under-sampled regions of the global ocean.

It’s a great example of the kind of international collaboration and scientific expertise driving new ways of understanding our changing oceans.

We were excited to have our Director of Data Operations, Jon Pye, and Data Acquisition Coordinator, Mati Gray, participate in the kick-off meeting of the Multi-disciplinary Ocean Sensing for Adaptive International Conservation (MOSAIC) project in Belfast last month. This new cross-border initiative brings together 11 partners across Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Canada.
