Tagging of Pacific Predators

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of tagging? No? Well, it's a way for scientists to keep track of certain animals, like Pacific predators. What happens is the scientists put a special little device called a tag on the animal, like a shark or a tuna or a seal. The tag can send information over the internet, like where the animal goes and how deep it goes in the ocean.

But why do they do it? Great question. Scientists want to learn more about these animals, so they can study their behavior, understand how they move and hunt for food, and even figure out how to protect them better. By putting a tag on a predator, scientists can follow it around, like a big brother or big sister would, to see what it gets up to.

And don't worry, the tagging process is safe for the animal. Most tags are attached with straps that won't hurt the animal, and the scientists make sure the animal isn't hurt in the process. Plus, the tags eventually fall off or detach, so the animals don't have to carry them around forever.

So there you have it, tagging pacific predators is a way to keep track of their movements and behavior so scientists can learn more about them and keep them safe.
