1. Story
2. The cetacean biologist who led the satellite tagging programme at the Marine Mammal Institute, Oregon State University, that produced the first sustained record of where eastern North Pacific blue whales actually go. Tags attached under that programme to 171 blue whales off California and in the Gulf of California between 1993 and 2008 established the southward winter movement to Baja California, the Gulf of California and the eastern tropical Pacific, and the 1999 deployments confirmed the Gulf of California as a wintering ground.

14. Evidence
15. Transmitters were attached to 171 blue whales off California and in the Gulf of California between 1993 and 2008; a related analysis used 159 Argos tags deployed mainly off California in late summer between 1993 and 2007, of which 92 tracks exceeded seven days. Tagged whales moved south in winter to Baja California, the Gulf of California and waters at and west of the Costa Rica Dome; five whales tagged in 1999 wintered in the Gulf of California, identifying it as a wintering ground.
