Day five of SOCAL-11 and we have managed to attach eleven suction cup tags on ten different individuals and conduct CEEs on six different individuals. So far we have just worked on blue whales in several different area, in part because the offshore weather hasn't enabled us to focus much on some of the deeper water toothed whales.
Two blue whales just off the southern CA coast (J. Calambokidis, Cascadia Research. Taken under NMFS permit #14534)
We did see some fin whales today and now have an additional passive acoustic listening system being towed behind a quiet sailboat to try and detect vocalizing marine mammals in deeper water. However, the weather haasn't proven too favorable to try and do this yet. We have followed the MO of taking what the conditions give us and having the flexibility to work in different areas and on different species accordingly. We are hoping for calmer weather offshore tomorrow, but the late forecast tonight isn't too optimisitc. But, given the conditions we have had we are pretty pleased with the tags we have been able to attach and animals we have monitored. Also, today was the first successful attachment of a new generation of tags on a mysticete cetacean; helping move the technology forward in a number of areas is something we are proud the overall SOCAL-BRS effort has contributed to.
