A new technology innovation that is growing for marine biology is tagging. My favorite is shark tagging as shown on shark week. There has been a growth of tagging for other marine life, which excites the fisherman. Tagging helps to acquire information on the animal or species that is tagged. It shows where the marine life travels or stops and where it stays. It helps with information on where different species travel during winter, summer, etc. Also, it shows where they go for birth, adult life, and migration. Some tags can have cameras or even other additional things in the tag. Tagging helps with so many scientific discoveries with different marine life. The impact is going to help with safety for the public, knowing the migration trails with species, where species go to give birth, and etc. The shark tagging helps to show where the shark migrates, gives birth, and where they travel just throughout the seasons. It also helps the public because scientists are able to see where the sharks go related to beaches that the public visit. Tagging helps with keeping information for multiple reasons.
