Motus relies on an assemblage of individuals, researchers, companies, government, non-government organizations, and academic institutions working together to maximize the efficacy of everyone’s effort and data. The central philosophy behind Motus is that we should all be working together, and all Motus collaborators agree to share their data, experiences, and successes with other collaborators and the public.

The value of the Motus network grows as the spatial coverage of stations and number of partners and collaborators increases. With continued expansion and support, Motus is providing a framework for global collaboration, and a coordinated approach to solving some of the most complex problems in movement biology and ecology.
