Open source learning
Every data point is shared openly with the world.
Our Partner,
OCEARCH
Turning breakthrough science into next generation engagement
OCEARCH redefines how science reaches the world. POSTPALS was built for institutions like this. Together, we turn live shark science into immersive adventures that drive year-round unrestricted fundraising and deepen engagement, with near zero operational lift. A blueprint for the next era of conservation.
Returning our world's oceans to balance and abundance
Through bold expeditions, cutting-edge technology, and radical transparency, OCEARCH brings scientists face-to-face with sharks, safely tagging and studying them to reveal how our oceans truly work.
Expeditions with purpose
Every expedition advances science, education, and policy.
Living stories
Every shark tracked reveals vital stories of migration and ecosystem health.
Understanding protects
When people understand the ocean, they protect it.
Future stewards
And when the next generation feels connected to science, they become its stewards.
"The future of our oceans depends on what today's children learn, feel, and believe. Our partnership with POSTPALS reflects OCEARCH's commitment to sharing science in powerful new ways."
From the field
Real expeditions. Real science.
