Thanks for that update Heather, very informative.  I was one of those who kind of wondered about the tagging, thinking Tom and Misha should be free of human intervention.  Well... I take it all back now and acknowledge that, of course, Born Free and co know exactly what they are doing.  I just hope our boys are allowed to swim free for the rest of their lives.

It now looks like the tags are going to be as much for security as tracking Jan.  As long as they are safe..xx

The tags are a temporary measure and will drop off in time Jan.

This is the very first time a release has been properly monitored post release in this way and will provide vital evidence useful for future releases.

Good job they are monitored though and maybe this incident in Kasadasi is a blessing in disguise as it has focused everyone's attention on the damage that can be done by human interference undermining all the work that has gone on for so long.

Now everyone from the coast guard, relevant Ministries as well of the prats at the aquarium are aware and supporting efforts to ensure that no one is to make personal interactions with Misha or Tom.

Absolutely agree Heather and Nichola.  The tags are necessary at this point and are serving their purpose very well indeed.  Just keep swimming boys )) xx
