Not everyone can march and protest the craziness in the USA, Ukraine, Alberta, or elsewhere. However, most of us can buy a song for digital download. Let's send "The Land of Confusion" to No. 1 to highlight being fed up with impotent and dangerous leaders.

An excellent plenary by Joe Roman on the myriad values of whales to human society and global ocean and climate health! #ECSconference2025
Inspiring plenary from Joe Roman about 'lifting baselines' and quantifying the effects whale real red ecological pathways have on nutrient cycling and transfer in the oceans - check out his latest contribution here: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #ECSconference2025 🐋🦑🧪

Nicole Todd presenting on yet another decline in harbour #porpoise. Every poster and talk on them at #ECSconference2025 has been detailing declines in abundance and distribution, or dropping body condition. Houston, we have a problem. #RedAlert

Super complex but important work by @anacanadas.bsky.social who modelled Mediterranean cetacean abundance using multiple data sources - estimates of total sperm whale abundance had no upper ci above 5.5k supporting recent 'Endangered' IUCN listing doi.org/10.2305/IUCN... #ECSconference2025 🧪🐋🦑

Anna Selbmann brilliantly presents her work on behavioural responses of killer whales to pilot whale sounds in the style of an Asterix comic! Who says science can't be fun? #ECS2025 (p.s. oh yeah, you might want to know that killer whales avoid pilot whale sounds!)

At the #ECSconference2025 they lured us out of the poster session with a live portuguese "murinheira", like the Pied Piper of Hamelin. Brilliant!

Hui presentem el pòster:
“Site fidelity of Risso’s dolphins along an underwater canyon system”, amb resultats molt prometedors.

Seguim treballant per conèixer i protegir els cetacis del nostre mar.
