To preserve a species, whether marine or not, study and good scientists are needed. One of the steps to gain this knowledge is to map, like the animal, its habits, habitat, among other characteristics. In the Galápagos National Park, specialists are carrying out work to track hammerhead sharks to understand the migratory routes of fish.

The technique used is acoustic trackers. They determine a position by emitting a sound that is picked up by a receiver. The time elapsed from sending to receiving allows the calculation of the distance between sender and receiver. Watch the video about the work being done in this Pacific paradise.
