Flounder numbers in North Carolina have dropped because of overfishing in specific regions. This overfishing has caused a major decrease in their populations, with certain species, such as the Southern Flounder, being labeled as overfished by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). On top of that, habitat destruction from pollution, and climate change poses additional risks to their survival. It's crucial to protect these fish to help them thrive, including adopting sustainable fishing methods, restoring their habitats, and enforcing rules to limit catches and safeguard breeding areas. The new app “Just Keep Tracking” is a groundbreaking tool designed to monitor fish populations more effectively than before. It leverages advanced data from more strategically placed buoys equipped with solar-powered sonar transmitters. These buoys are capable of collecting real-time data on fish movements, behaviors, and population densities, which are then transmitted via a satellite network for comprehensive analysis.   This idea was made completely by children for everybody!
