🐋💙🐬 Humans should know better by now not to let people hunt them! "...Off the coast of Nova Scotia, pilot whales look out for each other" (Rebecca Heisman, Hakai: Coastal science and societies, 24 NOV 2016). #SaveCetaceans #SaveOurSeas #Academia #CetaceanResearch

as they directly contribute to the SouSA Consortium, conducting small-boat surveys for photo-identification and biopsy sampling in order to monitor humpback dolphin population structure and health along the coastline. #CetaceanResearch #MRIWhaleUnit #HuDoNet #OceanScience #SouthAfrica
This is something we as IndoCet will begin to tackle, collectively.
Asante sana to everyone driving this collective effort and to Globice for organising the meeting.

There were more projects showcased than can be mentioned, yet there are as many, if not more, threats to our cetaceans and everybody agreed that a regional action plan for research-based conservation and mitigation of threats is needed.

Other networks also showcased their work:
🔵 NeMMO: leveraging ships that are already engaged in other activities to collect marine mammal data;
#IndoCet #NetworkofMarineMammalObservers #MarineConservation #WesternIndianOcean #CetaceanResearch
Globice’s scientists shared new findings on the diffusion of humpback whale song across 17 different locations in the WIO. Their analysis found an eastward diffusion of songs between years, with a year’s delay, and complex connectivity within years.

We’re wrapping up the IndoCet session summary by highlighting the diverse research and innovation happening across the WIO region — from whale songs to science communication to coordinated conservation networks.
#IndoCet #Globice #CetizenProject #MarineConservation #CetaceanResearch
a collaboration focused on tracking migrating humpback whales to a network encompassing all cetacean species in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO).
The message from the final day was clear: “Working together expands our impact exponentially.”
#IndoCet #WIOMSA #HuDoNET #CetaceanResearch #WIO
a diverse catalogue of cetacean research in the WIO region — from humpback whales to pygmy killer whales, false killer whales, melon-headed whales, sperm whales, and of course, Indian Ocean humpback dolphins.
Since its founding in 2014, IndoCet has grown from [...]

Our Senior Researcher Fredrik Christiansen completed the third photogrammetry field season on bowhead whales in Disko Bay, Greenland. Together with MSc student Oliver Nowak and local hunters, he measured over 500 whales during March to June to investigate their prey consumption and condition.

Two yellow buoys with weed on float on the water’s surface, gently bobbing with the waves. Sunlight reflects off the rippling sea, creating a shimmering effect. In the background, green hills and cliffs stretch along the coastline under a partly cloudy sky.
So happy to see these today!
