New research out! 🐬

We tested 16 NZ toothed whale species to see if habitat predicts PFAS levels.

Results:
• Habitat = weak predictor
• Sex & age = stronger predictors
• Even remote oceans aren’t safe from PFAS

📢 New paper alert! 🐋 As climate change reshapes our oceans, more marine mammals are turning up in unexpected places. We define "Out of Habitat" (OOH) animals, explore why it's happening, and what it means for conservation.
