Sharks are being utilized as biological sensors to enhance ocean climate forecasting. Researchers have tagged sharks with devices that record temperature, depth, and location, providing detailed data that traditional methods struggle to capture. This shark-derived data, when integrated into climate models, has shown a significant improvement in forecast accuracy, particularly in dynamic coastal regions, with some surface forecast errors reduced by up to 40%. This innovative approach highlights the potential of using marine animals as complementary tools for ocean observation and prediction. AI
