Already, we have collected more useful data on whale migration patterns than 20 years of lethal research by the Japanese Fisheries Agency.
These tags, however, are not permanent and after two months the tags have stopped transmitting signals – although they could begin transmitting again at any time.
The data collected shows a lot of useful information such as stock structure, diet, migratory patterns, body length and whether a whale is pregnant. Without harpooning a single whale.
For more information about the research check out our videos about the tagging and tracking process.
We are also running a competition to name one of these magnificent whales, together with the Daily Telegraph. So, if you haven’t already, why not suggest a name for our whale, known as Tag 37282.
