Tagging of Pacific Pelagics (TOPP) is a international effort within the Census of Marine Life focused on studying the entire North Pacific pelagic ecosystem from the view of the top predators. By tagging tunas, sharks, seals, molas, cetaceans, albatross, squid and sea turtles, an international team hopes to learn where the pelagic watering holes, migration corridors and pastures are. Come join our Animal Explorers on their sojourns across the Pacific ocean.
