OTN's public WFS: where acoustically tagged animals were released (species, date, place, size) and the acoustic receiver network (station positions and deployment dates). Releases are shown as release sites, never as tracks; stations are listening posts, never animal positions.
ConnectedPublic WFS probed 18 Oct 2026 from the production server: otn:animals (51,214 release records), otn:stations_receivers (81,435 deployments), otn:project_metadata (360 projects) all answer in about 1 s with no key. Recorded samples live in fixtures/adapter-contracts/recorded/otn-wfs-*.json. OTN Data Centre confirmed public display with attribution (owner-reported, 18 Oct 2026).
