Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking (POST) Project
Little is known about the movements of marine animals as they migrate through the ocean and in the case of salmon, the coastal rivers where they were born. An international research initiative called the Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking Project (POST) offers the opportunity to make major breakthroughs in our understanding of how marine animals use the ocean. POST strives to answer the questions about where animals go, how they use the structure of the ocean environment to accomplish their migrations and what they experience when they reach their destinations. For more information on POST, please explore our exhibit at the Aquarium or visit our website: www.postcoml.org POST is one of 14 field projects parented by the Census of Marine Life. The Census (www.coml.org) aims to assess and explain the distribution, diversity and abundance of marine life, past, present and future. |
