Abstract
Species occurrence records are vital data streams in marine conservation with a wide range of important applications. From 2001-2020, the Monterey Bay Aquarium led an international research collaboration to understand the life cycle, ecology, and behavior of white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) in the southern California Current. The collaboration was devoted to tagging juveniles with animal-borne sensors, also known as biologging. Here we report the full data records from 59 pop-up archival (PAT) and 20 smart position and temperature transmitting (SPOT) tags that variously recorded pressure, temperature, and light-level data, and computed depth and geolocations for 63 individuals. Whether transmitted or from recovered devices, raw data files from successful deployments (n = 70) were auto-ingested from the manufacturer into the United States (US) Animal Telemetry Network's (ATN) Data Assembly Center (DAC). There they have attributed a full suite of metadata, visualized within their public-facing data portal, compiled for permanent archive under the DataONE Research Workspace member node, and are accessible for download from the ATN data portal.

I am a conservation biologist and teacher-scholar whose independent, externally funded research shows how global change reshapes populations, communities, and ecosystems. My research focuses on indicator species—birds, turtles, otters, sharks, corals, kelps—as ecological sentinels of climate and other human pressures. I integrate field monitoring, experiments, biochemical forensics, biotelemetry, and machine learning to connect organismal biology to ecosystem change. I am the founder and director of two research laboratories, and I actively mentor students and build research programs to train the next generation of conservation scientists.
