Dear Marmam Members,
 

In this week's Thank You Ocean Report, Policy Coordinator Shana Miller from the Tag-A-Giant Foundation discusses the Tagging of Pacific Predators (TOPP) program. Through the TOPP program, scientists are now able to track species that travel all over the Pacific with the latest electronic tagging technology. tagged Laysan albatross; (c) Michelle Kappes, courtesy of TOPP(Photo of tagged Laysan albatross; (c)Michelle Kappes, courtesy of TOPP)
