How satellite-tracking works:
- The white shark comes up to the surface of the ocean
- The satellite-tag switches on and transmits a radio signal to the satellite
- The satellite receives the transmission, locates the position of the satellite-tag and re-transmits the message and the position to the land-based Argos-centers
- At Argos the information is processed and sent to Shark-Tracker
- The Shark-Tracker website displays the position of the great white shark on an online-map. Only with a small delay of 1-2 hours! This is why these tags are called "near-real-time-tags".
