Satellite Tracking

Why did animal X stop transmitting?

Background

Sifa was the last Arabian Sea humpback whale tagged on November 2015 survey. Another new animal to the 'Oman Humpback Photo-Catalogue'. As yet it is unknown if the animal is male or female. The name 'Sifa' was taken from a reef area named "Sif Bu Sifa' close to where the animal was found in the centre of the Gulf of Masirah. The reef area is apparently highly productive and a magnet for artisanal fisheries, turtles and whales and dolphins that have been sighted in the area.
