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. (Photo of tagged Laysan albatross; (c)Michelle Kappes, courtesy of TOPP) The TOPP program features marine mammals, such as Northern elephant seals http://www.topp.org/species/elephant_seals We invite you to listen to the podcast by going to http://www.thankyouocean.org/podcast/.
