Whales are important to Elding, after all, healthy whales are the cornerstone of our business. Documenting species and behaviour only answers part of the question, if you want to know what whales are doing when boats are not around, you need to employ some creative techniques. That's where telemetry comes in. Telemetry entails attaching little gadgets to the animal's backs with a suction cup that track where they go and what they do.  When the device pops off, we can analyse how the animal behaves when we can no longer view it with our eyes. We began fine scale telemetry research in the summer of 2015 under the guidance of marine scientist Jake Levenson, and for 2016-2018 we added satellite telemetry to the fine scale tagging. Satellite telemetry can tell us what areas of Faxaflói bay are important, it can tell if the whales our business depends on are at risk of being harpooned by whalers, and it can shed light into the little known migratory behaviour of whales.
