The great Roger Payne has passed. I was able to speak with him and bid farewell. Five days prior, when he knew his end was coming, he published this recollection to help us find our way forward. time.com/6284884/whale-…

So sad to hear of the passing of WDC friend and whale champion extraordinaire Roger Payne. Roger's recordings of humpback whale songs were the soundtrack of the Save the Whale movement. They made people realize there are intelligences other than ours on this beautiful planet.

Scientists have described a new dolphin species armed with protruding, tusk-like teeth for swift and violent attacks on prey – but we’re about 25 million years too late to see it (with a shout-out to the great Ewan Fordyce) nzherald.co.nz/nz/newly-disco…

From 1 July 2023 Aotearoa is saying haere rā (good bye) to single-use produce bags, like the ones you put your fruit and veg in at the supermarket. Find out what this means for you and your whānau when you’re doing the weekly kai (food) shop - environment.govt.nz/plastics

An incredible day out on the water yesterday! We were lucky enough to locate a pod of Orca and had a great time slowly travelling alongside them back towards Auckland City 🏙️ Our small group of passengers onboard loved it - there were a few happy tears shed 😭😍 #whalewatchingakl

Concerning drone footage of this pod was circulating yesterday before they stranded. It showed the pod forming a tight group, just 100m from shore and many whales spy hopping... All indicators of distress. Our thoughts are with the teams responding today.

We're sad to hear that a large whale has been found beachcast (deceased) at a beach north of Wellington. Muaūpoko spokesman Dean Wilson said the whale, which washed up early Tuesday morning, was a taonga and would be buried in the sand on the beach. Photo: Stuff

I wrote an article for The Guardian on the phenomenon of live mass strandings, where many whales end up on beaches. There are many causes, but their social nature seems a key factor in understanding, responding to and preventing more of these tragic events theguardian.com/environment/20…
