Important new study propose that whale watching guidelines should be based on noise levels rather than distance alone. Well done Kate Sprogis @SimoneVidesen and Peter T Madsen

Ah. Interesting. Killer whales Port and Starboard recently reported in Cape Town now just down the road causing trouble eating endangered white sharks! A really challenging conservation conundrum this!

#TeamTohora set sail soon to find out where our southern right whale/tohorā go from their winter calving ground in the Auckland Islands Faculty of Science, University of Auckland Live Ocean Foundation (inactive) @Cawthron_NZ #SouthernOceanResearchPartnership The Royal Society MMEG_UoA Dr Leena Riekkola - @finntasticleena.bsky.social newsroom.co.nz/ideasroom/solv…

Such awesome work! Hopefully we can start tagging some South African SRWs soon UP Mammal Research Institute. Plenty of summer migration questions that need answering... #southernrightwhale #satellitetag #foraging #ecology

Mind. Blown. A Cuvier's beaked whale, an air breathing mammal, dived for 3hrs 47mins. How is that even possible?! Way to go Nicola Quick et al.!

Perhaps the beginning of another Península Valdés situation where sea birds harass whales?

Just in: Earth just had its hottest #September on record; 2020 could end up ranking among three-warmest years on record, say Auto Detailing scientists More at bit.ly/371gTVa #StateOfClimate

How does tech actually help whales? Read how the just-published #southernrightwhale #genome and #satellite tracking helps us learn about #whales and how their populations might fare in changing oceans.

New Global Change Biology paper on the impacts of #climatechange on the recovery of #southernrightwhales from #whaling. As our oceans rapidly change, SRWs can alter their feeding behaviour. But, it doesn't appear to help their recovery Emma Carroll @LucV6 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/X…

#Southernrightwhales can alter their feeding behaviours in response to rapidly changing oceans. A good sign! But, it still isn't benefiting the population. Here I discuss #whales, #climatechange, and the findings of a new publication in Global Change Biology mammalresearchinstitute.science/news/2020/12/1…

“Even though we have stopped hunting whales, our actions are now indirectly impacting their populations through climate change.” Read more about the latest research by Emma Carroll Gideon van den Berg 🐳 ⬇️ auckland.ac.nz/en/news/2020/1…

(1) Are you interested in adopting a #whale and in doing so, supporting our #research and the #conservation of southern right whales in South Africa? A thread:

Never nice to see a stranded cetacean, but we collected some great data! #science #dolphin

An utterly crushing day for Big Oil 1) Chevron investors demand emission cuts 2) Dutch court tells Shell to cut emissions by half 3) Exxon shareholders buck the company and elect directors demanding climate action. Thanks to all who fight--you push long enough and dominoes tumble

Check out our latest #blog on the effects of #climatechange on South Africa's southern right whales. Also, if you haven't yet, go adopt a whale! adoptawhale.co.za/2021/05/27/132…
