FastLoc GPS Raw data for horizontal analysis

Horizontal tracking data from FastLoC tags deployed between 2021 and 2024 in Tīkapa Moana—Te Moananui-ā-Toi—the Hauraki Gulf by Manta Watch New Zealand (https://mantawatchnz.org/). This dataset was used in the M.Sc. thesis by Tamsin Cooper and in a research manuscript to be submitted to Royal Society Open Science.

The authors of this work recognise the rights of Indigenous peoples to make decisions about the future use of information, biological collections, data and digital sequence information that derives from associated lands, waters and territories. To support the practice of proper and appropriate acknowledgement into the future of these rights, we request that those seeking to reuse the tracking data from this study contact Lydia Green (lydia.green@mantatrust.org) and Alice Della Penna (alice.penna@auckland.ac.nz) ahead of use and publication.
