Marine Mammal Research Program

The Marine Mammal Research Program studies animals like whales, dolphins, and seals to understand their biology, behavior, and health. Researchers observe their movements, communication, and how they interact with their environment, often using boats, underwater microphones, and marine parks. This research helps protect these species, informs conservation efforts, and increases knowledge about marine ecosystems. It also explores how environmental changes and human activities impact marine mammals, aiming to promote their well-being and sustainable coexistence with humans.
