Researchers at the University of Delaware are exploring a unique approach to improve hurricane predictions. They are testing the use of sharks as mobile observers of ocean data. The sharks are equipped with sensors that allow them to collect near-real-time data from the ocean.

This innovative method may potentially enhance the accuracy of hurricane forecasts. Further details about this research project are available from the Waco Tribune-Herald, which reported on the University of Delaware's initiative to utilize sharks in hurricane prediction efforts.
