Tiger Shark Tracking

University of Hawaiʻi's Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) deploys satellite tags on tiger sharks to track their movements within the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument (Northwestern Hawaiian Islands) as well as the Main Hawaiian Islands. Top predators play an important role in ecosystems by influencing prey behavior and shaping communities through trophic cascades.
