The ocean makes up 70% of the earth’s surface, making it a vital component of our earth’s infrastructure. In order to track ocean movement and temperature change, the OTN must extend to all five of the world’s oceans – the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Southern and Arctic – and include all seven continents.
Researchers from around the world have agreed to join this tracking effort. While researchers are tracking Greenland shark migration patterns in the Canadian Arctic, other scientists will be tracking movements of king penguins as they feed in Antarctic waters. It also means that the data collected will be comprehensive, allowing for a true analysis of how marine life and the climate are changing worldwide.
