Film Friday: Discovering Ocean Secrets

"We are now at the point, in the middle of the 21st Century, where we have the tools to study the blue part of our planet," says Dr. Barbara Block in this latest KQED Quest show featuring one of our partners, the Tagging of Pacific Predators (TOPP) program. You may recall that the latest juvenile white shark to be released earlier this year from the Aquarium is wearing a satellite tag (two in fact). We receive frequent reports via satellite, that let us know he is still safely navigating the waters off Baja California.

This short video piece shows what it takes to tag bluefin tuna and the rarest of sea turtles, the Pacific leatherback. Right now, you can help save leatherback sea turtles from a new threat. Go to our web site to learn more and to take action for turtles today!
