Grey seal populations have been experiencing exponential growth across the North Atlantic. 🦭 These predators are known to feed extensively on cod. "This predation could be contributing to the cod species' failure to recover," says Izzy Langley @izzylangley.bsky.social. ofi.ca/news/scientist…

Interesting report from our colleagues at MWDW- grey seal seen feeding on a harbour porpoise off Isle of Man coast in July. Help us and our friends at SMRU (now posting at Bluesky) and please do report any similar cases, as we're keen to learn more about this issue! mwdw.net/grey-seal-pred…


📰NEW PUBLICATION!🐋 In our new paper in Journal of Applied Ecology, we show how 'not all maps are equal' when it comes to mapping risk..We apply the same data (bowhead whale and Arctic vessel traffic) to 8 different models, and find nuances in where is predicted as 'high risk' 🗺

Massive piece of work by J. Chris McKnight SMRU Instrumentation and colleagues successfully reducing the impact of seal tagging with a new tag design that is commercially available 👏

If you are at the #SMM2024 conference in Perth, pop along and see us at the joint SMRU (now posting at Bluesky) and SMRU Instrumentation stall (#018).


New publication! We developed an automated approach using deep learning to identify pairs of photographs from the same individual - an important development in the photo ID of wild animal populations. Congrats Emmanuel Kabuga 👏 Ecosphere esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…
