[KWlocate] Beam Reach with transients

[Scott Veirs]

Hello all,

For those of you who joined the "locate" list recently, I wanted to 
explain that some list members use a device called a SPOT to send 
automated location data when they are in the field with killer whales. 
If you would prefer to not get so many updates, please just let me know 
(at scott at beamreach.org ).  I can easily switch you to a "daily digest" 
mode that will notify you once per day with all daily messages 
concatenated.

Alternatively, anyone can manage their own account (including 
unsubscribing) via:
http://lists.orcasphere.net/listinfo.cgi/locate-orcasphere.net
(Email me if you've misplaced your password.)

Today's locations are coming from the SPOT on the Beam Reach research 
vessel.  On their first day at sea they encountered transients and have 
been paralleling them northbound in Haro Strait between Sidney and Henry 
Islands.  Further details should emerge soon at: http://beamreach.org/blog

You can view Beam Reach SPOT locations in real-time here (please do not 
share this URL beyond list members)

and in historically here

http://www.beamreach.org/map.html

Finally, these location data are archived both on the Beam Reach web 
site and in the "Orca Master" database maintained by The Whale Museum. 
Please contact me if you have a use for (or source of!) archived data 
and would like to coordinate data transfers.

Best regards,
Scott
