whale telemetry

Whale telemetry involves attaching small electronic devices, called tags, to whales to monitor their movements, behaviors, and environment. These tags can record data such as location, depth, and sound, which is then transmitted via satellite or acoustic signals. This technology helps scientists understand whale migration patterns, feeding habits, and communication, providing valuable insights for conservation and management. The process is non-invasive and designed to minimize disturbance to the animals while collecting critical information about their life in the wild.
