Tracking the Mysterious Migration of Humpback Whales: A Technological Expedition

The video discusses the annual migration of humpback whales, which travel 8000 km to breeding waters off Colombia. An expedition by Nativo aims to track this migration using innovative technology. Due to the challenges of tracking whales over long distances, a VHF transmitter was developed. The expedition collaborates with naval authorities and the public to gather data on whale routes, encouraging people to report signals to aid research.

What is the primary reason for tracking the migration route of humpback whales?

• To map the Pacific Coast

• To ensure their population recovery

• To find new fishing grounds

• To study ocean currents

Why was satellite technology not suitable for tracking humpback whales?

• It was too expensive

• The transmitters were too large

• It could harm the whales

• The power source was insufficient for the long migration

What innovative solution was used to track the whales?

• VHF transmitters

• GPS collars

• Underwater drones

• Acoustic buoys

Who were the collaborators in the effort to track the whale migration?

• Environmental NGOs

• Tourist agencies

• Naval authorities and transportation fleets

• Local fishermen

How can the public contribute to the whale tracking research?

• By donating to Natabo

• By reporting VHF signal sightings

• By volunteering for expeditions

• By adopting a whale
