Estimates of Marine Mammal, Sea Turtle, and Seabird Mortality in the California Drift Gillnet Fishery for Swordfish and Thresher Shark, 1996–2002 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Estimates of incidental marine mammal, sea turtle, and seabird mortality in the California drift gillnet fishery for broadbill swordfish, Xiphias gladius, and common thresher shark, Alopias vulpinus, are summarized for the 7-year period, 1996 to 2002 ...

Automated extraction of right whale morphometric data from drone aerial photographs

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Aerial photogrammetry is a popular non‐invasive method for measuring marine mammal body size, body morphometrics, and body condition, but processing large datasets efficiently remains challenging. We developed a machine learning algorithm using Mask R‐CNN models to automatically measure body morphometrics of southern right whales from aerial ...

Drone photogrammetry reveals contrasting body conditions of dugongs across the Indo‐Pacific

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The monitoring of body condition has gained traction as a way to provide early warning signals of population decline, prompting conservation actions. However, the environmental and anthropogenic drivers of body condition variations are rarely investigated.

Minimizing Vessel Strikes to Endangered Whales: A Crash Course in Conservation Science and Policy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The North Atlantic right whale is one of the most endangered of all large whales: about 350-400 individuals remain. Species recovery is, in part, contingent on reducing vessel-strike mortality.

Determining the species assemblage and habitat use of cetaceans in the Svalbard Archipelago, based on observations from 2002 to 2014

open access: yesPolar Research, 2018
This study used 13 years of cetacean sighting data (2002–2014) from waters around the Svalbard Archipelago to determine key habitats for year-round resident species as well as seasonally resident species, and to explore spatial overlap between these ...

A multi-year study of narwhal occurrence in the western Fram Strait—detected via passive acoustic monitoring

open access: yesPolar Research, 2019
Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has proven to be an efficient method for studying vocally active marine mammals in areas that are difficult to access on a year-round basis.
