Killer whales are apex predators with distributions that vary across the world’s oceans. Their ecology and behaviour remain poorly understood in many regions due to limited research, especially in remote areas. Around the sub-Antarctic Prince Edward Islands (PEIs) in the Southern Ocean, killer whales exhibit seasonal vocalising patterns that align with prey availability and social … The Killer Whales of Prince Edward Islands Read More »...
The Gulf of Eilat, Israel’s coral reefs, are some of the world’s most biologically diverse marine environments. These ecosystems provide essential ecological functions, including food provision, storm protection, and supporting tourism. However, like many reefs globally, the coral reefs in Eilat have experienced significant declines in recent decades. Local stressors such as pollution, overfishing, coastal … The Coral Reefs of the Gulf of Eilat Read More »...
In the icy waters of Alaska, the Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) plays a vital role in maintaining the region’s ecosystem. This fish species serves as a crucial prey item for seabirds, marine mammals, and fish, many of which are significant to Inuit communities. However, as the Arctic experiences dramatic environmental changes due to climate change, … The Cod Fish of Alaska Read More »...
The Burrunan dolphin (Tursiops australis) is critically endangered, with fewer than 300 individuals left. Found only in Port Phillip Bay and Gippsland Lakes, Victoria, Australia, these dolphins face serious threats from noise pollution, vessel traffic, and environmental changes. Without urgent conservation efforts, their extinction is imminent. The Marine Mammals Foundation (MMF) leads the charge to … The Burrunan Dolphin of Port Phillip Bay Read More »...
The U.S. Navy along conservation organizations (along 401 Tech Bridge, Maritime Blue, and Quiet Sound ) launched an international Wazoku challenge aimed at the development of technological solutions to automatically detect Southern resident killer whales and North Atlantic right whales presence in the northwest ocean and the northeastern regions of the United States. The Southern … The Wazoku Challenge of Marine Mammals Detection Read More »...
Antillean manatees are large herbivorous marine mammals inhabiting the shallow waters of the Atlantic Ocean side of the Americas, Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. In this collaboration, the focal populations are those in Belize and Mexico. Due to historical exploitation and human impacts such as habitat development and boat traffic, they are endangered … The Antillean Manatee of Belize Read More »...
Oil and gas prospection is one of the leading causes of marine noise pollution. For this reason, most countries have guidelines to be used during seismic surveys to ensure no sensitive species are near the equipment and to prevent any possible physical effects caused by the sources. One of these guidelines is the pre-watch before … The Dolphins of Brazil Read More »...
In the South Pacific of Costa Rica, Innoceana is working on monitoring Humpback whales, Megaptera novaeangliae, visiting the coast. As a team of biologists working on marine conservation in the South Pacific of Costa Rica, Innocent has always been interested in deepening the understanding of this incredible species. Innoceana monitoring measures are based on bioacoustics … The Humpback Whales of Costa Rica Read More »...
Humpback Whales in the southwestern Indian Ocean undertake annual migrations in summer from the Antarctic/Southern Ocean feeding grounds into winter breeding grounds in the tropical and sub-tropical coastal waters of Mozambique, classified as the C1 Breeding Stocks. Humpback Whales are considered to possess one of the most complex acoustic repertoires among Baleen whales, as male … The Humpback Whales of Mozambique Read More »...
