The Ocean Tracking Network (OTN) is a research infrastructure and global partnership platform based at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Funded as a Canadian Foundation for Innovation Major Science Initiative, OTN’s core mandate is to connect researchers around the world who are collecting aquatic animal tracking data through its Data Centre (OTNDC). This internationally-certified data centre works to guarantee data reliability and pioneers quality control pipelines for electronically-tracked animal movement data, designing processes to publish animal occurrence data to OBIS and beyond. Although OTNDC was initially scoped to support animal tracking data flows, advancements in technology, especially the expansion of OTN’s autonomous glider program, have expanded OTNDC’s public data offerings to include high-resolution oceanographic data from hard-to-sample ocean regions, like the Canadian Arctic. This presentation will introduce OTN, aquatic animal tracking, explore OTN’s public data offerings, and highlight some examples of how OTN’s datasets have been used to inform conservation, climate science, and forecasting at a global scale, including an introduction to current analysis techniques in the field of aquatic animal tracking.
