Tagging of Pacific Predators : ウィキペディア英語版 | Tagging of Pacific Predators Tagging of Pacific Predators (TOPP) began in 2000 as one of many projects formed by Census of Marine Life,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Census of Marine Life ) 〕 an organization whose goal is to help understand and explain the diversity and abundances of the ocean in the past, present, and future.〔 After they were formed, TOPP began by building a coalition of researchers from all over the world to find and study predators of the Pacific Ocean.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Youtube, Tagging of Pacific Predators )〕 Since then, they have satellite-tagged 22 different species and more than 2,000 animals.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=TOPP ) 〕 These animals include elephant seals, great white sharks, leatherback turtles, squid, albatrosses, and more.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Zooillogix )〕 Through the efforts of TOPP, information never before accessed by humans was now available, such as migration routes and ecosystems,〔 but from the animals', rather than human, aspects.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Monterey Bay Aquarium )〕 It also became possible to learn about the ocean itself through use of the animals, because they can go where humans cannot. We learn through their everyday actions, and through these data, researchers have been able to determine better ways of protecting endangered species, such as the leatherback turtle.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sea Turtle Restoration Project )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Satellite Tagging Research )〕 ==Organization== In addition to the NOAA’s Pacific Fisheries Ecosystems Lab, Stanford’s Hopkins Marine Lab, and University of California, Santa Cruz’s Long Marine Laboratory,〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Census of Marine Life, TOPP )〕 a wide range of people contribute to the success of the program, including marine biologists, oceanographers, engineers, computer programmers, journalists, graphic designers, educators and the public who provide support.〔
