08 June 2023: First deployment of fin whale tags

We are excited to announce that the first three fin whale tags of the MINTAG project have been deployed by Steering Group member Kenji Konishi in the Southern Sea of Okhotsk, Japan!

In the following days, he and his team will deploy two more fin whale tags of the V0b design, of which 25 in total will be deployed this summer in the North Pacific and North Atlantic. We are looking forward to further deployments of fin and minke whale tags by other Steering Group members in August 2023.
