Help us choose names for some of the Sounders gray whales! We need to name 5 whales, including some regulars and newbies that have joined in recent years. Vote for your favorite name by April 2, 2023. Vote here: forms.gle/4Tuj3pzUQ8anEr5w7 @orcanetwork #GrayWhales #PugetSound

What's in a name? People care more about a whale's protection when they see it as a unique individual. Nicknames help achieve that. @CascadiaRes & @orcanetwork want your help naming 5 of the "Sounders". Vote for your faves before this Sunday, April 2! 💙🐳

Hot off the press! New publication on long-term associations of common bottlenose #dolphins with a fish farm in Hawaiʻi and impacts on other protected species, led by CRC's Annette Harnish @womeninmmsci tinyurl.com/526brw3z More details in the thread (1/n):
Interestingly, dolphins from the farm were also more aggressive towards other species in the area, suggesting that the farm's impacts on wildlife are quite complex. This photo shows farm-associating bottlenose dolphins harassing #endangered false killer whales (4/n)
You can access the paper here tinyurl.com/526brw3z or email us and we can send you a PDF copy! You can also download a copy of the supplementary materials at cascadiaresearch.org/publica…
New paper just published on the delineation of #Biologically #Important #Areas (BIAs) for cetaceans within the Hawai‘i region, part of a nation-wide initiative led by @NOAA that builds upon the 2015 effort! Link below and details to follow: frontiersin.org/articles/10.…
While we were only able to present details on BIAs for 3 species in the paper, we provide full descriptions (background, data, methods, mapping, etc.) for all Hawaiʻi BIAs in supplementary materials, and spatial products and metadata will be available at the BIA website soon!
