Grateful to see our latest article out in Marine Mammal Science. It raises some important questions about over-reliance on 'snapshot' surveys performed at basin-wide levels and highlights why more regular, nationwide studies could provide better estimates: doi.org/10.1111/mms.70140
Our new study is out
Producing Local Common Bottlenose Dolphin Abundance Estimates to Fill Species Knowledge Gaps in the Eastern Mediterranean Surrounding Türkiye

Great to see more publications from Ekaterina Kalashnikova, Davis Orio and Aylin Akkaya coming out on the marine mammals of southern Tanzania. The multi-year study is discovering lots of cool new things about an important, understudied area for cetaceans:

Was great to be back at @UKIRSC_SMM as a participant rather than an organiser and great to see the new committee smashing it! 🐳 Really honoured to have been voted as the winner of the long-talk - look closely for some amazing photoshop work 😂📸✂️ #workofart@marinemammalogy
Next, we have @AwberyTim presenting their research on using dynamic habitat suitability models to assess the potential risk of entanglement of Minke Whales.
Fantastic showcasing of all the world leading work happening in Scotland at this years SMM 'Fishing for change' conference in Perth Australia
Congratulations to @AwberyTim from @SAMS for winning two prizes and taking home the original conference art to Scotland
Lovely evening talking about minke whales on the west coast as part of @whalesorg 's Winter Webinar Series last Wednesday.
Thanks everybody who came along and to all of the amazing Shorewatch volunteers for giving up their time to collect this valuable data! 🐳
It was great honour to be chairing the evening Sustainable Fisheries session at the Challenger Conference hosted by the Scottish Association For Marine Science last week. 🪝🎣🦞 (1/8)
I'd like to thank Liberty, Bally, Hans, Andy, and Joe for joining me on stage for a really insightful conversation. I hope this is the start of something larger. (7/8)
It's been a pleasure taking part in a knowledge exchange in Tanzania to discuss methods to improve the conservation of highly mobile marine species in 🏴 and Tanzania. I'm really grateful for @SUPERDTP1 for providing funding and Mnazi Bay-Ruvuma Estuary Marine Park for hosting!🐳
Had a great time at @dclde conference last week. It was brilliant to catch up on the latest acoustics developments, catch-up with old friends and meet new colleagues 🔊🐬🐋
