About Expedition White Shark

Welcome to Expedition White Shark, the world’s first app designed to track adult white sharks in real time! To make this possible, scientists at the Marine Conservation Science Institute (MCSI) attached custom satellite tags to the dorsal fin of adult Great White Sharks, allowing us to follow their movements from Satellites orbiting the earth. Expedition White Shark allows you to receive near real time Great White Shark tracking data at the same time as the research scientists. Positions for the tagged sharks can only be calculated when a shark is at the surface with its dorsal fin out of the water for several minutes; since sharks are not always finning we receive intermittent position data from our sharks, but each signal beamed to us form space adds to our growing knowledge of the life history of this species. Since you are getting our data in near real time you will notice that the satellites sometimes make mistakes, placing the shark far from its actual location; we correct these errors later, when we analyze the data. The MCSI satellite tagging of Great White Sharks has led to many important new findings regarding white shark biology, and each new day brings promise of a new discovery that you can make with us! Keep up with the latest research insights posted by Dr. Michael Domeier and Nicole Nasby-Lucas, by following us on Facebook www.facebook.com/MarineCSI and Instagram @marinecsiorg

What Expedition White Shark Is Used For

Expedition White Shark appears to be an education app focused on following adult white sharks through near real-time satellite tracking data. Based on the metadata, it is used to view tagged shark locations, observe movement patterns, and follow along with ongoing marine research from the Marine Conservation Science Institute. The app seems centered on learning rather than entertainment, making it useful for people interested in ocean science, wildlife monitoring, and conservation projects.

Because the app receives data from satellites and needs network access, it likely depends on an active internet connection to update shark positions and research notes. The description also mentions that location signals may be intermittent and sometimes corrected later, so users should expect evolving data rather than fixed maps. The permission to prevent the device from sleeping suggests it may be designed for longer viewing sessions, such as monitoring updates or presenting the tracking information on a phone without interruption.
