Hey OCEARCH Crew! 🌊 Ever wondered how our Global Shark Tracker works — or why sometimes it looks like a shark swims across land? Each shark carries a SPOT tag that connects to the Argos satellite system, but they only ping when they come to the surface. That means there can be gaps in time and space between pings. If those pings are near a peninsula or coastline, the Tracker draws a straight line between them — even if it cuts across land. We don’t “guess” the route — we show you the real data.

We can give you a glimpse of OCEARCH Sharkives: Chapter 25… but the full story lives exclusively inside Tracker . Unlock the episode and more now. Plus, dive into the moments we can’t show anywhere else. 🌊🦈 | OCEARCH

On October 1, 2020, OCEARCH tagged and released Nukumi, a 17 ft 2 in, 3,541 lb female white shark off Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. 🌊 She stands as one of the largest sharks studied by our team, and her data provides rare insight into the life of an adult female white shark. Her name honors the Mi’kmaq grandmother figure, symbolizing wisdom and teaching. Nukumi continues to shape shark science and inspire conservation, and her track is always available on the OCEARCH Global Shark Tracker at ocearch.o
