Betty - November 12
Betty has moved offshore a bit, south of Louisiana, to waters about 2000 m deep. She has been making a few dives to 300-500 m, but the vast majority of dives continue to be to less than 50 m. Over the past few days, she has made dives lasting as long as 9-10 min, but mostly they are 3-4 min or less. She has sent nearly 11,000 transmissions (of 25,000 projected total) and battery voltage continues to be strong.
Betty - November 11
Betty continues to the east along the edge of the continental shelf south of Louisiana. Betty's tracking has now continued for twice as long as was possible for Clyde, the last Risso dolphin tracked.
