The need for long-term population monitoring of the world’s largest fish
Endangered Species Research, 2022 Many large marine species are vulnerable to anthropogenic pressures, and substantial declines have been documented across a range of taxa. Many of these species are also long-lived, have low individual resighting rates and high levels of individual ...

Route Fidelity during Marine Megafauna Migration [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 The conservation and protection of marine megafauna require robust knowledge of where and when animals are located. Yet, our ability to predict animal distributions in space and time remains limited due to difficulties associated with studying elusive animals with large home ranges.

Marine Megafauna and Charismatic Vertebrate Species
, 2021 Marine megafauna typically include large pelagic sharks, sea turtles, seabirds, and marine mammals. These megafauna are mainly associated with pelagic ecosystems through which they undertake long-distance migration. The Alboran Sea connects the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea and is thus a relevant hotspot for marine megafauna.

Underwater Visual Records of Marine Megafauna Around Offshore Anthropogenic Structures
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 In oceans and seas worldwide, an increasing number of end-of-life anthropogenic offshore structures (e.g., platforms, pipelines, manifolds, windfarms, etc.) are facing full or partial removal.

Climate Change Will Re-draw the Map for Marine Megafauna and the People Who Depend on Them
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Climate change is expected to dramatically alter the distribution of many marine megafauna, impacting the people and economies that depend upon them. We build on the recent literature by developing a framework to describe the effects these changes will ...
