May 7 - Where is Lea?

Roberto remains deep inside the bay, and Yaana is still outside the mouth of the bay.

We have not received any signals from Lea over the past two days. This is not necessarily unexpected. We are just about at the two-month point that we had targeted for tracking. In addition, Lea's tag attachments were modified in an experiment to refine the design to release sooner. Last year, the tags stayed on some of the dolphins longer than we wanted them to. Pablo's next trip to San Blas is extremely important to find and photographically document the tagged dolphins and the conditions of the tags and attachments. Dr. Bordino emailed yesterday to say he plans to be out there getting photos next week.
