Animal Tracking Bracelets – Ocean Conservation Gifts

Animal Tracking Bracelet – Frequently Asked Questions

• How does an animal tracking bracelet work?

  Animal tracking bracelets connect to an interactive mobile experience using smart tap technology. When you tap the bracelet with your phone, you’re taken to a live tracking map where you can follow the real movements of a sea animal, explore marine wildlife facts, and learn about ocean ecosystems.

• How do you actually track the sharks?

  Your whale is followed using SPOT (Smart Position and Temperature) technology—the gold standard in marine research. These specialized tags allow the Clean Wave Initiative to study migration without disturbing the whale's natural behavior. Satellite Sync: Data typically updates every 2–3 days to preserve the tag’s battery life. Deep Divers: Whales often travel in deep water or remote areas. If your whale goes "off the grid" for a few days, the map will automatically update their full journey as soon as they resurface and ping a satellite. By wearing the Wave bracelet, you are supporting non-invasive science that helps protect these giants for generations.

• How does "Tracking" remove plastic from the ocean?

  Through our collaboration with the Clean Wave Initiative, your tracking experience does more than just show you a map. Every time you tap your bracelet to your phone, it signals a commitment to cleaner seas. As part of this global initiative, the supplier removes plastic from the ocean based on your engagement. The more you track, the more we help them clean.

• Do I need an app or subscription?

  No subscription is required. Simply tap the bracelet with your phone’s built-in NFC feature to access the interactive tracking map and educational content.

  These bracelets are popular gifts for animal lovers, children interested in wildlife, teachers, eco-conscious shoppers, and anyone who wants a gift that supports ocean conservation.
