Amazing results from our satellite telemetry project with Southern right whales in Argentina. Electra, a whale seen with a calf at the time of tagging, is back home after 6 months. It’s the first time we record a mom’s full migratory cycle. And her track looks like a whale 😊!

Albatrosses & large petrels are particularly at risk of #bycatch. They’re attracted to prey near the ocean surface including fish used as bait in longline fisheries, or discarded fish. #WorldAlbatrossDay British Antarctic Survey 🐧 BirdLife International @Darwin_Defra Science Animation Studio #BirdLifeScience

Meet our newest member, Phil! His mother, Amelie, runs multiple acoustics projects. Marine science has become more inclusive for women in recent times, but we still have a long way to go. Within Whale Wise we are determined for our team to continue their research with a family.

In 2 weeks, you have raised £4,005 - this is incredible. This means we can purchase a Mavic 3 drone and extra batteries. The amount will also be doubled thanks to a generous donor. These additional funds will contribute to the running costs of the project. Thank you everyone.

We have retrieved our hydrophone that has been recording for the past year in Finnafjörður, Iceland. We aim to use the recordings to inform the construction and use of a shipping port being built in the area. Huge thanks to Barba! Photos by Juni Bjørneset / Barba
