Our white marlin tags are popping off. 2 have been recovered, 1 is in the sound, 7 are way out. All are transmitting their data: “Ten of the tags are up and “talking”. The eight from your last overnighter should pop up in a week or so. It looks like at least three of the tags detached early (tether still attached). Two of those washed up and were recovered. The third is happily transmitting away in Pamlico Sound in an area that will not be easy to access. I’ve attached a map showing the location of the tags (two are up in Maryland at Microwave Telemetry).”
