There is even an iPhone and iPad application to… locate white sharks

You begin to know it,
The iPhone can have many, sometimes surprising, uses. Useful and
sometimes less the possibilities are immense and each day brings a lot of
novelties.

Today it ismarine faunawhich is in question
and more particularly the great white shark.

In fact, an application allows you to track white sharks from
the Pacific Ocean. A good way toreconcile the general public and the
research :

A dozen sharks were tagged in a project with the National channel
Geographical. The objective is toobserve the animal's behavior and
to learn a little more about their eating habits through
example.

The data is transmitted by satellites and allows scientists
to do their job. The new thing is that the general public also has access to
data collected quickly and simply. The app therefore offers content
rich in teaching and also takes the opportunity to offer users
know the animal better.

Share searches and results with iPhone users
allows you toreach a much wider audience than a publication in
a scientific journal.
A great initiative which has already attracted nearly
15,000 curious people.

We would like to see this happen in other areas as the perspective
Accessing searches on iPhone sounds exciting.

For the curious,
the application is available here for €2.99
but sharks don't swim
only off the coast of the Pacific, that is to say far from us.
