SAFE | STRESSLESS | UNIQUE WORLD 1st HARNESS TAG SYSTEM
Tagging is the procedure where a satellite tracking unit is attached to the shark’s dorsal fin. Large shark research scientist, Dr. Jonathan Werry is the original designer and manufacturer of the world’s 1st safe and stressless harness satellite tag system. Dr. Werry observed how other tagging techniques can stress the shark, so he developed this unique harness technique that allows sharks to calmly relax in the specially designed harness next to the side of a boat. This unique world 1st system allows the natural flow of water across the sharks body and gills and has been successfully used for large sharks, including Great Whites, Tigers and Bull sharks.
OUR RESEARCH AIMS
Conservation: Our research is designed to understand the patterns and drivers of shark movements for informed conservation and management strategies.
Community Benefit: Our research contributes direct benefits to humans by unravelling the factors that lead to hazardous shark-human interactions.
