So that's what we want to do on some of the species, eels and other fish in the ocean.

How are you going to stick something to an eel?

Yes, I mean, that's overdue because we want to know, you know, do they really go to the Sargasso Sea and how many of them go there and where do these eels really go and

So far, the tags that have been used were just way too large.

So they expose the eels to predation.

But with these very small tags, you can do it now.

So this is all within reach now.

We can already do that, for example, on these terrestrial systems in Namibia.

And the idea is, and that's working now, to combine terrestrial and space systems so that you can communicate on the ground if there is connectivity and then it's real time.

and then a space communication when you need it and that is right now near real time i mean it's you know a few times a day or so but there is also a talk about expanding the system and making it into a system that you have connectivity every 10 minutes or so which would then be almost real time but that is something to see in the future it's possible it's just a question of of money

It's not a lot of money, but still, you know, as a ground-up, a bottom-up community, it's always hard to find these funds.

Thank you.
