Cetacean Tag Design Workshop Held in Arlington, Virginia on 16-17 March 2009

Abstract

The Office of Naval Research sponsored workshop entitled 'Cetacean Tag Design Workshop' was held in Arlington, Virginia, 16-17 March 2009. The workshop brought together over forty marine mammal researchers, veterinarians, tag manufacturers, and federal agency and other group representatives to discuss current technology and topics related to cetacean tag attachments (Appendix 1). The goal of the workshop was to review and evaluate past, present, and future tag attachment and delivery designs with a goal of identifying and collectively advancing designs and design 'features' that maximize tag attachment duration and data collection while minimizing potentially adverse risks to animals.
