Marine Mammal Observation 👀🐋 can be demanding when performed for many hours in rough conditions 💨🥶🌊🚢. Kite Optics (kiteoptics.com) lended us stabilised binoculars during our last fieldwork campaign in Antarctica.

Adequate personal equipment and research gear are key for a successful fieldwork campaign, especially in remote environment with challenging conditions like Antarctica 🚢💨🌊🥶. We are grateful to Kite Optics (kiteoptics.com) who provided us with one pair of stabilized binoculars👀

March has been a highlight of this year, with a fieldwork campaign around Elephant Island, Antarctica. Despite extremely challenging weather conditions, we gathered data on the ecology of fin whales🐋at this foraging ground, that will help inform conservation management👩‬

I am thrilled to announce that I have joined Ryan Reisinger’s lab as a Research Fellow at the University of Southampton. Since September 2024, I study the interactions between baleen whales 🐋 and krill fisheries 🛥️ in the Western Antarctic Peninsula. Stay tuned for more information on our research!

I’d like to share the great documentary work from Pedro Canavilhas (B’lizzard), which features green turtles, local communities and our work within the Parc National du Banc d’Arguin, Mauritania.

I’m thrilled to share the recent publication of our work on the movement patterns of green 🐢 at a major foraging ground in Mauritania. Paper is freely accessible using the following link: rdcu.be/d1AXJ
