The development and uses of technology in marine mammal research
AFTERNOON:
The development and uses of technology in marine mammal research
In this session we will delve into the history and development of technology to study the biology and behavior of marine mammals. We will explore the ways in which scientists have developed novel tools, including acoustics, tags, and photogrammetry, to increase our understanding of how these cryptic animals can be tracked, listened to, or measured. Experts from each field will share their perspective on the historic development of each technology, how it has evolved over time, current uses, and the future of research applications.
Presenters will also bring the tools of the trade with them to allow for hands on experience and one-on-one interactions to learn more about these modern tools of marine mammal research.

AFTERNOON:
The Growing Entangled Whale Problem and Efforts to Respond
AFTERNOON:
The Growing Entangled Whale Problem and Efforts to Respond
For a variety of reasons, reports of whales entangled in fishing gear and other ocean debris have increased dramatically in recent years. Although having been a recognized conservation issue for nearly fifty years, the matter has created new concerns regarding conservation, fishing best practices, and the inhumane circumstances of marine wildlife.
The session will examine the impact entanglements have had on whales, both individually and as endangered/threatened species, advancements in disentangling response techniques, and the development of a national entanglement response network. The importance of way people on the water report entanglements and how that helps the efforts of scientists looking into understanding and solving the problem will also be discussed.
