Abstract
The Ocean Tracking Network (OTN) is a global project headquartered at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. OTN researchers worldwide are pressing for standards and protocols to allow universal storage and sharing of a broad spectrum of biological and physical oceanographic information. Where animals go, what conditions they experience, how they interact, and how individual behaviours change on timescales relevant to climate change is information that scientists and managers need in order to protect and restore ocean productivity. OTN intends to deliver these as part of the permanent monitoring functions of the Global Ocean Observing System. OTN is a pilot project of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and is itself organized into 14 ocean regions.
