Satellite tagging of south-bound female humpback whales in the Kimberley region of Western Australia: Field report

The population of humpback whales that migrate along the west coast of Australia and calve in the Kimberley region of Western Australia is increasing in size.

On a recent trip on RV Whalesong 11, a field-based research team comprising Vanessa Boladeras, Mike Double, Curt Jenner, Micheline Jenner, Rebecca McCauley and Dale Peterson, deployed satellite tags on 30 south-bound humpback whales in or near their known calving grounds in the Kimberley region.
The report of their field trip is available to download.
