We initiated a tagging program in 2004 to determine the large-scale and long-term movement patterns of three species of Mobulid Ray (Mobula mobular, M. munkiana, M. thurstoni). Between 2004 and 2014 we deployed 48 pop-up archival (PAT) tags that recorded temperature, pressure, and light level. Pressure and light level records were then used to calculate animal depth and geolocation. Transmitted and when available recovered raw data files from successful deployments (n = 45) were auto-ingested from the manufacturer into the United States Animal Telemetry Networks (ATN) Data Assembly Center (DAC). Through the ATN DAC, all necessary metadata were compiled, dataset was prepped for release, and derived geolocation trajectories (n = 43) were visualized within their public facing data portal. These data and the full metadata records are available for download from the ATN portal as well as permanently archived under the DataONE Research Workspace member node.
