We use photos to identify, catalog, and study marine mammals in the Southeast. These photos provide important information about the health, social structure, abundance, and distribution of marine mammal populations.
Further understanding the distribution patterns of sperm whale populations in Hawaiʻi and contributing methods for building species distribution models.
A model-based localization approach is applied to account for errors not typically accounted for by the standard method of passive acoustic monitoring when conducting line-transect cetacean abundance surveys.
Using molecular genetic tools and techniques to study marine mammals and gather information essential for their successful conservation and management in the Southeast Region.
