Marine Megafauna (MegaMAR)

Group dedicated to the research of marine megafauna: mammals, turtles and seabirds, elasmobranchs, and large pelagic fish. We conduct both basic and applied research for species management with conservation purposes across a wide range of fields such as population biology and distribution, trophic ecology and behavior, bioacoustics, and biologging. We provide regional, national, and international consultancy on species conservation and anthropogenic impacts, including interactions with fisheries, acoustic pollution, and more.
