Expedition White Shark

Welcome to Expedition White Shark, the world's very first app that allows anyone to track adult white sharks from a special satellite array orbiting the earth. To make this possible, scientists at the Marine Conservation Science Institute (MCSI) fitted Great White Sharks with custom built satellite transmitters.

About App

The app will allow you to receive live tracking data for the tagged Great White sharks, at the same time as the research scientists.

Positions for the tagged sharks can only be calculated when a shark is swimming at the surface with its dorsal fin out of the water for several minutes, furthermore, one of the ARGOS satellites must be overhead at the very same instant.
