Humpback Whales Satelllite Tracking

Where do humpback whales that frequent the waters of the northern Lesser Antilles from January to June come from? What do they do in these waters? Are sperm whales which also frequent these waters from the same groups present in Guadeloupe and Dominica? Are these waters also a nursery for this species?
The scientific mission MEGARA will attempt to answer these questions during a campaign at sea which will take place from March 24 to April 3, 2014 in the northern Lesser Antilles, focusing on the AGOA sanctuary. The goal of this campaign is to deploy Argos satellite tags on humpback whales and collect biopsies from this species and from sperm whales.
