Heads up - there are 50 more Scute $500 satellite sea turtles tags available to purchase after the initial batch sold out. 🐢🌊
Reserve your tags for the coming sea turtle season 👀

Our prototype NanoMoths are going out for field trials this week. Weighs just 6g including a 150 mAh Li-Ion battery and not much bigger than a micro SD card. Supports all the features of standard AudioMoth up to 192 kHz sampling rate.

Arribada's new standalone Argos transmitter is now available. No additional microcontroller required 🐢🐦⬛🐳🦈🌊
It's World Turtle Day 2026! 🐢 🌏
What better news for turtle telemetry than Arribada's news too that we have released a standalone Argos / Kinéis transmitter. The 𝗔𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗮𝗱𝗮 𝗦𝗠𝗗 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲.
You can now develop your own Argos tags arribada.org/arribada-smd

📢NEWS: Lack of data and reporting gaps are hampering global efforts to protect pangolins.
All eight recognised pangolin species remain at high risk of extinction but the absence of updated data mean the full scale of the situation is not yet understood.

I shared how:
1. We need space literacy
2. Prevention > clean-up
3. We must act fast, before we repeat old mistakes
Great progress from @openmvcam with the new N6 and AE3 cameras. Especially the low power deep sleep on the AE3 for battery powered builds. Congrats to Kwabena and team 🥳 kickstarter.com/projects/ope…
