In July 2021, researchers from the University of Auckland and Cawthron Institute, in collaboration with the Australian Antarctic Division and the US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, put satellite tags on southern right whales – tohorā. As of August 2021, seven of the whales tagged in July had started migrating, and several were still around the Auckland Islands. Below you can meet the whales and follow their journeys.
