This program uses advanced satellite technology and telecommunications
to monitor and research the actual migration patterns and movements of
selected species of whales and marine animals. WhaleNet uses satellite
transmitters that send signals to satellites. Students and educators
can access and use the data and information from these satellite tags through WhaleNet.

WhaleNet is designed to give students the ability to collect and analyze
data on many different marine mammal species right from their own classrooms.
- Since the real-time information relayed includes time, date, latitude,
longitude, students can follow the migration of one animal, plotting its
progress on a map.
