#Aotearoa used to be home to 30,000 #tohorā. Today, most of the ~2000 NZ #southernrightwhales left winter in the Auckland Islands. We satellite tagged #tohora this winter and you can follow their journeys: tohoravoyages.ac.nz/tracks-of-the-…
Latest paper from my PhD is now out in @molecology! To investigate whether baleen whales have the genetic capacity to smell, I developed a gene mining pipeline and explored the forces shaping whale olfactory receptor evolution. Check it out here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

Check out this massive effort by Commission Scientific Advisor and @NOAAFisheries scientist, Jason Baker, and his colleagues, featuring their work to recover the #endangered Hawaiian monk #seal.
A decades-long effort to remove dangerous plastic debris from marine and terrestrial habitats has succeeded in lowering endangered Hawaiian monk seal entanglement rates, a new Science study finds, confirming that such efforts are well worth the cost and effort. Learn more in…

New work from our southern right #whale tohorā a project 🐳 - ONLY 10% important habitat protected by MPAs - these MPAs are used frequently by vessels OA paper: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @itsliveocean @royalsocietynz @FinntasticLeena @ScienceUoA @iwc_int @MMEG_UoA
🌊While Port Ross in the Auckland Islands enjoys protection, many vital whale habitats in New Zealand waters remain vulnerable. Vessels are entering these critical areas more frequently than anticipated. 🎥 Animation by @AucklandUni tracks whale movements alongside vessel paths.
The leap in temperatures over the past 13 months has exceeded the global heating forecasts – is this just a blip or a systemic shift? | Climate crisis | The Guardian theguardian.com/environment/ar…

In 2004 the CBD COP-7 recommended protection of seamounts & other vulnerable marine ecosystems on the high seas from destructive fishing. In 2024 there are still Parties to the CBD bottom trawling on seamounts. They have been ‘breaking’ the deep sea for 20 yrs #DefendTheDeep
