Coastal Migrant Species

Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking Project (POST)
POST studies the migration routes of Pacific Salmon, and other coastal migrant species, to understand how they utilize the marine environment. The project develops and promotes the application of new electronic tagging technology to create a monitoring network along the entire length of North America's west coast.
