Tracking Seals to Protect the Ocean

On Block Island, Mystic Aquarium and Rhode Island’s environmental department are tracking seals with underwater receivers—part of a broader mission to map marine life movements and protect ocean ecosystems. Six receivers deployed in May are capturing signals from various species, turning the sea into a vast, listening network. Seals are federally protected, so keep your distance—150 feet or more—and no selfies. This long-term science project aims to inform conservation, blending tech with nature to better understand and safeguard marine habitats.
