And that enables us to track their movements, which have been from here to the equator and back.

Yeah, well that's where they aggregate.

What's incredible and what we're trying to learn is where they go, why, what they do, what the risks are in those areas, because ultimately we're trying to conserve this animal.

But

One, for example, Joe, who went down to the sub-Antarctic islands first, 700 kilometres blast, went all the way up to Queensland, had a great time on the Goldie, came back and now is off Ahipara.

He's just returned back to New Zealand.

So it's truly incredible.

And I can tell you, though, the stocks in Great Whites, people are trying to say buy gold.

But, mate, these things are going to give us a return on investment for our future you cannot match.

Yeah, so I don't make any money off of this.

Our charity doesn't make any money off this.

The cost of the tag, which is $4,300 New Zealand dollars, is the cost of the tag from the manufacturers in Washington, D.C.

So it is expensive, but what you get is the opportunity to track an animal for

through up to a year and a half worth of time from New Zealand to Polynesia.

But more importantly, you could enable us to discover something truly novel about where these animals go, help us generate a data set that we're putting through the University of Auckland to ultimately look at a better understanding of them for their protection, but also for us.

They overlap with us, especially in East Australia, but in New Zealand too.

And we do have those rare human-shark conflicts.

So this is best for everyone.

Like I said, return on investment.

This is the future of the ocean health, which is spirit and oxygen.
