The Woods Hole Group is the United States-based subsidiary of CLS Group and is the sole provider of the Argos satellite communication services for receiving transmissions from PTT and providing those data in a standardized format.
NOAA Fisheries will utilize this service for multiple critical missions including to conserve and recover marine mammal and sea turtle populations and to obtain data on other species and environments. Researchers will deploy satellite transmitting devices to provide real-time monitoring and obtain data necessary to implement effective conservation and recovery efforts and manage other marine species.
The PTT used by NOAA Fisheries are designed for transmitting data through the Argos system and are used to track marine life movements and monitor water temperatures.
In general, marine life are secretive, wide-ranging and are difficult to track directly. To understand the habitat needs, movements, home ranges and other ecological parameters of protected species, we rely on remote tracking techniques. The service will specifically provide critical satellite data transmission and high-quality location accuracy to improve monitoring how ... - Documents:
