ALT The image features information about lab testing of a new design. The text describes how the tags were subjected to intensive stress tests, even being struck with a hammer, and held up under simulated ocean conditions. A diagram of the design measures 5.3 inches in length over a design of blue sky and ocean.
ALT This image is titled "Safer and stronger." It discusses testing a tag design on Southern right whales in Argentina, highlighting its safety and longevity. Two photos of whales are shown in Polaroid style, labeled "Península Valdés, Argentina." Text mentions the tags stayed attached for an average of 24 days, more than twice as long as implantable tags. The background has a light blue and white design, resembling clouds.
ALT Title: What's Next. This graphic discusses using the new design on sei whales and, eventually, endangered North Pacific and North Atlantic right whales. Below, a photo depicts individuals on a boat observing a breaching whale.
ALT Scientists retrieve a rosette of CTDs, tubes with sensors that measure ocean chemistry and other conditions above calm waters. WCOA 2026 will deploy this tool along the West Coast to assess the status of ocean acidification and its impacts on marine resources. Credit: NOAA
