HMMC's research this winter focused on humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) photo-identification and biopsy surveys for SPLASH, under contract to the State of Hawai‘i DLNR and the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary. SPLASH, which stands for Structure of Populations, Levels of Abundance and Status of Humpbacks, is an unprecedented international study spanning the North Pacific. In March, HMMC board member Adam Frankel, Ph.D. (also a Senior Scientist for Marine Acoustics, Inc.) and two graduate students from the University of Hawai‘i, taught a threeday HMMC mini-course on marine mammal passive acoustics for students involved in the Cornell University Hawai‘i-based Marine Ecosystems Field Course. Also an odontocete sighting summary and shore station summary.
