About us
Our mission
We aim to support the recovery and protection of whale populations by focusing on individual health indicators and habitat requirements.
Our vision
Many whale populations are still struggling to recover from decades of industrial whaling, and continue to face threats from entanglement in fishing gear, collisions with vessels, underwater noise, and climate change.
We believe that studying whales at an individual level is fundamental to understanding the requirements of a population, which can in turn support science-based conservation measures.
Our approach
We focus on building collaborations within the research community, designing scientific studies, conducting field research, disseminating findings, and supporting the conservation of whales and their habitats. Our efforts are focused on species for which fundamental biological and ecological data is lacking, thereby informing evidence-based threat mitigation and conservation measures.
