Whale Tracking

Scientists use various methods to track whale movements, including:

1. *Satellite tracking*: Attaching satellite transmitters to whales to monitor their movements.

2. *Acoustic monitoring*: Using underwater listening devices to detect and track whale vocalizations.

3. *Visual observations*: Conducting aerial or ship-based surveys to observe and record whale movements.

Importance of Whale Movement Tracking

Understanding whale movements helps:

1. *Conservation efforts*: Informing policies and strategies to protect whale habitats and reduce human-whale conflicts.

2. *Research and science*: Advancing knowledge of whale behavior, ecology, and population dynamics.

3. *Sustainable management*: Supporting responsible whale watching tourism and fisheries management.
