This past week, Save the Blue successfully deployed the first fin-mounted tag on a female whale shark! This is extremely crazy news, as this means Blueberry is not only Save the Blue's first fin-mounted tagged female whale shark, but the first fin-mounted tagged female whale shark in the world! You can now check out Blueberry's page for more information under the Whale Shark tab.
While we are excited to welcome a female whale shark to the Save the Blue team, the implications of Blueberry's data are much more important. Blueberry is our hope for big insights into female whale shark congregation areas, breeding areas, and where they raise their young. As of now, we have little to no information on any of this, and Blueberry could be the key to helping protect all of those areas and whale sharks!
