Last month, Iago Gradin from our telemetry ops team attended the All-Atlantic Ocean Research and Innovation Alliance forum in Brazil. He presented on OTN and joined a panel on ocean tech insights. A great opportunity to connect and share ocean science across the Atlantic 🌊
MAY STUDY HALL SCHEDULE! 🗓️
Every Thursday, the OTN data team works with peers from across the globe to answer telemetry questions & help problem solve! These informal sessions can be a valuable resource for anyone interested in aquatic telemetry.

🌊🐟 Happy #WorldOceansDay! With this year’s theme, “Strong MPAs for Our Blue Planet,” we’re proud to work w/ Mike Lawrence, a DFO biologist, using acoustic telemetry in the Musquash Estuary MPA to better understand fish movement & support evidence-based marine protection. tinyurl.com/yubm8wt5

OTN is proud to support research in the Banc-des-Américains MPA (Gulf of St. Lawrence, off Gaspé), where telemetry tracks Atlantic wolffish and lobster. Using 50 OTN + 47 DFO acoustic receivers and diver tagging, researchers are revealing movements & habitat use to inform MPA monitoring 🪸 📸 DFO/MPO
Our director of data operations, @jdpye.bsky.social, has accepted a nomination to co-chair the AniBOS Data Management Committee, helping advance how animal-borne ocean data are standardized and shared globally: anibos.com 📸: C. McMahon | R. Harcourt
