Developing effective and well-engineered tags requires collaboration amongst members of BIO and AOPE, but also sensor engineering and ocean observation with MCG and PO. This unique hub of diversity in marine experience allows us to work together to minimize tagging impacts on animals, and to make groundbreaking improvements on current tags and associated technology.<\/p>\n
