Europa is doing fine and continuing to head towards Isla Clarión, Mexico. However, we wanted to update you on our wave glider Metis, who earlier this year was deployed off Puako to stream Live humpback whale song over our website. But on Jan 25th, the sound suddenly stopped. When we went out to investigate, we learned that some ocean critter, likely a shark, had bitten off the hydrophone! After a couple of weeks to do repairs and reassemble, we were able to re deploy Metis. Enjoy the audio and keep your fingers crossed no more predators!
Hydrophone cable bitten off presumably by a shark!
