Quint is a white shark being tracked on the OCEARCH Global Shark Tracker, and his movements are helping scientists unlock critical knowledge about shark behavior and ocean ecosystems. By studying where Quint travels, researchers can better understand migration routes, feeding grounds, and how apex predators like white sharks maintain the health of our seas. Each ping from his tag provides real-time data that advances shark conservation, informs global research, and protects the future of our oce

Hey OCEARCH Crew! 🌊 Ever wondered how our Global Shark Tracker works — or why sometimes it looks like a shark swims across land? Each shark carries a SPOT tag that connects to the Argos satellite system, but they only ping when they come to the surface. That means there can be gaps in time and space between pings. If those pings are near a peninsula or coastline, the Tracker draws a straight line between them — even if it cuts across land. We don’t “guess” the route — we show you the real data.

Sub-adult male white shark Ripple is making moves! 🦈 Ripple’s migration showcases the remarkable distance white sharks travel along the Northwest Atlantic each year, following shifting water temperatures, prey availability, and seasonal patterns. Every ping helps scientists better understand shark movement, habitat use, and the important role these apex predators play in maintaining ocean balance. Track Ripple and other sharks in real time on the OCEARCH Global Shark Tracker App or visit ocearc

A Legacy That Lives On. White shark Webster—12 ft. 2 in., 1,008 lbs.—has checked in from the Atlantic! Named in honor of WWII veteran and shark author David Webster, his story reminds us of bravery both above and below the surface. This Veterans Day, we honor those who’ve served and those who dedicate their lives to protecting our blue planet. Track Webster’s journey live on the OCEARCH Global Shark Tracker™. #VeteransDay #OCEARCH #WhiteShark #SharkTracker #FactsOverFear | OCEARCH
