Had an incredible sighting off Nanao Island Shantou, China of humpback dolphins. There are only 12 left of the local population and we spotted a group of 6 while driving! We stopped the car, caused minor traffic chaos but managed to get some photos including id's! My first car based survey!

Our final paper for 2024: link.springer.com/article/10.1...
We provide rmax & fishing mortality for Endangered Spinetail & Bentfin Devil Rays. We demonstrate an approach to assess data-poor species. Urgent need to reduce catch of all devil rays to prevent species extinctions. @iucnshark.bsky.social

Need a festive season read in front of the fire?

We hope this paper published today In Marine Mammal Science will be of interest. We demonstrate the application of PAM and signature whistles to estimate abundance of bottlenose dolphins with comparable results to Photo-ID.
