Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking (POST) Project
Little is known about the movements of salmon once they migrate out into the ocean from the rivers where they were born. A new research endeavour called the Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking project (POST) offers the opportunity to make major breakthroughs in our understanding of how salmon and other marine animals use the ocean. The project strives to answer the questions about where they go, how they use the structure of the ocean environment to accomplish their migrations and what they experience when they reach their marine feeding grounds. For more information
on POST, please visit our website: POST is one of seven pilot projects parented by the Census of Marine Life. The Census aims to discover marine communities of the past, explore the multitude of ocean life today and predict the pattern of ocean ecosystems in the future.
