Acoustic telemetry works with two components, a transmitter (makes a noise) and a receiver (listens for the noise). By implanting rays with transmitters and placing receivers strategically around the atoll, it is possible to listen to the rays and make a map of where they go and when. By doing this Chantel and her team have shown that all three species are highly resident to the atoll and that, generally, they used relatively restricted areas, not venturing too far from \u2018home\u2019.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_138\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 1920px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saveourseas.com\/sosf-darros-research-centre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/SOSF-DRC-Gallery01-Im10-cowtail-ray-PhotobyRainerVonBrandis\u00a9SOSF.jpg\" class=\"fresco\" data-fresco-caption=\"\" data-fresco-options=\"thumbnails:false\" ><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-138\" src=\"https:\/\/saveourseas.com\/sosf-darros-research-centre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/SOSF-DRC-Gallery01-Im10-cowtail-ray-PhotobyRainerVonBrandis\u00a9SOSF.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saveourseas.com\/sosf-darros-research-centre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/SOSF-DRC-Gallery01-Im10-cowtail-ray-PhotobyRainerVonBrandis\u00a9SOSF.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/saveourseas.com\/sosf-darros-research-centre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/SOSF-DRC-Gallery01-Im10-cowtail-ray-PhotobyRainerVonBrandis\u00a9SOSF-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/saveourseas.com\/sosf-darros-research-centre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/SOSF-DRC-Gallery01-Im10-cowtail-ray-PhotobyRainerVonBrandis\u00a9SOSF-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">A feathertail stingray moves through the shallow waters of St Joseph Atoll.
