A new real-time messaging network uses a well-established maritime navigation safety technology—the Automatic Identification System—to reduce the risk of vessel strikes involving North Atlantic right whales.
NOAA Fisheries is leading a major effort to evaluate how next-generation ocean gliders can transform ocean monitoring and marine mammal conservation, while also benefitting U.S. fishermen and ocean industries.
As conditions in ecosystems change, marine mammals and sea turtles may change their behaviors or shift their ranges to survive. This makes new technologies for tracking their movements and health vital to conservation efforts.
A new collaborative study finds that incorporating copepod aggregation maps into North Atlantic right whale models could improve those models’ predictions, providing a better understanding of where endangered whales gather.
