Program Overview: This initiative aims to fund pioneering technologies in marine tagging and tracking, enhancing our ability to monitor marine wildlife with precision and minimal disturbance. By supporting innovative ideas in tag design, functionality, and data integration, the program seeks to advance marine conservation and research efforts globally.

Grant Opportunities: Researchers and technologists are encouraged to apply for funding to develop and test new tagging solutions that increase the durability, data quality, and ecological compatibility of marine tags. This initiative is particularly interested in projects that incorporate cutting-edge materials science, sensor technology, and data analytics to revolutionize our understanding of marine ecosystems.

Research Goals:

• Innovate new materials and designs for marine tags to enhance their performance and ecological compatibility.
• Integrate advanced sensors and technologies to gather comprehensive data on marine life behaviors and environments.
• Explore new methods for data transmission and energy efficiency to extend the lifespan and range of marine tags.
