The #FalklandIslands are considered a hotspot for highly endangered sei whales. A study has now found a possible explanation thanks to the alien-like songs of the #animals. #Antarctica #news #whales #protection Falklands Conservation polarjournal.ch/en/2022/11/10/… via @JournalPolar

NEWS: Our #whale team, in collaboration with @AfricanAquatic, has documented for the first time ever breeding songs of the #Endangered Sei whale, here in the #Falklands! This is just further proof of the importance of the Falklands as a Sei whale hotspot. Well done to Caroline! x.com/FI_Conservatio…

Having my mind blown at Escola do Mar emazores.pt the facilities to learn all about the sea, security and safety, with clear environmental and sustainability concerns, are absolutely world class.

Today was the last day of our whale ship strike workshop. Congrats to Rui Prieto for organizing it, together with the rest of the OCEAN project team. I learnt a lot about the topic, and there's still so much more we don't know. It will be interesting to see the topic evolve.

Fully-funded PhD opportunity in the Azores “Distribution modelling of oceanic megafauna towards dynamic oceanic management”. Please RT! Applications are due March 15, 2023. Full details available here: aircentre.org/Scholarship/ad… and [email protected]

This PhD project will develop and test a modelling framework to predict distribution and density hotspots for key megafauna species and probability of risk from human activities in near real-time. The PhD will be working with the Azores Whale Lab - Cetacean Ecology Group, Elliott Hazen, and the COSTA project

Last week Tiago André Marques and Ana Širović were in Faial, at a workshop for the OCEAN project ocean-navigation-awareness.eu organized by Rui Prieto on the problem of whale ship-strikes. Learned lots. Looking forward to see how PAM can help to find solutions to a difficult problem!
