When we think of tracking devices, we are normally thinking about tracking something on land—a package, a vehicle, a fleet of trucks, etc. But the technology that allows people to keep up with something or someone can be used anywhere, on land and on the sea.

Case in point: recently a group who is very strongly opposed to whaling found a way to plant tracking devices on a fleet of Japanese whaling ships. The group admitted to using a satellite tracking device, but at the same time said that they had used another kind of tracking device as well, and that they were not going to divulge all of their methods.

With the use of tracking, they were able to pinpoint just where the ships were and avoid having to miss an opportunity to find them because of the need to refuel. Although ships may at times be moving too fast for the protesters to catch up to them, continued use of tracking means that they will know where they are and that they will be able to reach the whaling ships when they travel at slower speeds.

No matter how you feel about whaling, this is another example of how tracking can be central to an organization’s mission. Being able to figure out where something is can make all the difference when it comes to getting the job done.
