Description:

A VHF transmitter was attached to a North Atlantic right whale cow on January 20, 1999, approximately 30 NM (nautical miles) east of Fernandina Beach, Florida. The whale and her calf were tracked continuously for 44 hours, when tracking was abandoned due to bad weather. The pair was relocated on January 25, 1999 and tracked continuously for an additional 96 hours. This report presents data from those two tracking episodes, giving fine-scale movement, swim speed and comparing day and night surface/dive intervals. Information on the duration of the whales = time at the surface and behavior is relevant to right whales = vulnerability to collisions with ships and sightability by aerial surveys designed to reduce the potential for ship/whale collisions.
