Telemetry is the process of obtaining data remotely, by transmitting information from an animal or by storing it for later retrieval. The field of telemetry with respect to marine mammals has included a number of research approaches, from simple radio tags that allow researchers to relocate a tagged animal, to complex systems that record and transmit data from multiple environmental sensors. This chapter reviews telemetric methods and biological insights accrued from the many different types of “tags” used on marine mammals.
