Tracking pygmy blue whales in the eastern Indian Ocean
Tagging and tracking the elusive pygmy blue whales of the eastern Indian Ocean is helping us to protect and manage this endangered species, particularly where their migratory route and feeding areas overlap with Australia’s largest oil and gas producing region.
Join Australian Institute of Marine Science Marine Megafauna Ecologist Dr Michele Thums for a special webinar to find out how her team is using acoustics and satellite tracking technology to better understand pygmy blue whale behaviour.
This event is part of National Science Week 2021.
