If we can track it, is it possible to locate the whale and observe it?

Looks like they've been trying to already.

I suspect the researchers would love to, but that would mean expenses regarding ship, crew, and all that comes along.

Try getting that past management when all you got is a weird plot on a spectrogram.

This is a project I wouldn't mind backing on kick starter! Have there been any successfully crowd-funded documentaries with a big budget at all? A quick google search didn't reveal much, all the ones I saw were relatively low budget.

In the age before "reality" TV, i guess one may have had a chance with Discovery or National Geographics...

That's sad though, because one day we'll lose that chance forever.
