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! 💙🐳 forms.gle/4Tuj3pzUQ8anEr…

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)

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):

We are extremely grateful for our collaborators and their involvement in this BIA II effort, and for all community scientists who contributed photos/sightings that supported these BIAs! Stay tuned for the publication of the new and improved West Coast BIAs, also led by CRC!

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!

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/10.33…

New year means new papers!! Our new article on #toothedwhales presence at three sites in #Hawaii over the past 10 years is now out in Ecology and Evolution! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

It’s the final day of the #MMRPChristmasCountdown. We hope you’ve enjoyed reading about all the amazing work being done for marine mammals in and around the Hawaiian archipelago by dedicated friends and colleagues at @PacificWhale @CascadiaRes @CREEM_cake @NOAAFisheries et al. 1
