Franciscana Dolphins - Tracking Day #118

Signal Fading After 45,000 Transmissions
Tunken is still transmitting, but after 45,000 transmissions (only 25,000 were expected for this transmitter), battery strength has declined to the point where the signals are not sufficiently strong to provide good locations (hence, no updated location on today's map) or dive data, and we expect to lose contact with him soon. Kona has made 30,000 transmissions, and is beginning to show some decline in battery strength. She remains to the south of Bahia San Blas.
