[MARMAM] New paper on blue whales off Sri Lanka

2020-04-02 Thread Maja Nimak-Wood (Cefas)
Dear All,

My co-authors and I are pleased to announce the publication of our paper 
entitled: ' Blue whales off the southern coast of Sri Lanka during the 
southwest monsoon season'
GRACE RUSSELL, MARCUS BRIDGE & MAJA NIMAK-WOOD
J. CETACEAN RES. MANAGE. 21: 1-7, 2020


ABSTRACT
Observations of 37 individual blue whales were recorded off the southern coast 
of Sri Lanka during the southwest monsoon season. Sightings were
made during a scientific geophysical survey campaign conducted in July and 
August 2017. Whilst blue whales are regularly recorded on the
continental slope of southern Sri Lanka during the northeast monsoon season 
(NEM) (December-March) and during the two inter-monsoonal
periods (March-April and September-October), limited data are available for the 
SWM (May-September) mostly due to unfavourable weather
conditions and a lack of survey effort. In the Northern Hemisphere, blue whales 
generally undertake seasonal migrations from higher latitude
feeding grounds to lower latitude breeding and wintering areas. However, it has 
been suggested that a population of blue whales in the northern
Indian Ocean (NIO) remains in lower latitudes year-round, taking advantage of 
the rich upwelling areas off Somalia, southwest Arabia and western
Sri Lanka. Data from this study support a hypothesis that a certain number of 
individuals remain off the southern coast of Sri Lanka during the
SWM, suggesting that the productivity in this region is sufficient to support 
their year-round presence. This study fills a knowledge gap on the
presence and movement of blue whales in the NIO, highlighting the importance of 
data that can be obtained from platforms of opportunity.

[MARMAM] Blue whales Balaenoptera musculus in offshore waters of Kenya

2016-07-12 Thread Maja Nimak-Wood
Dear colleagues,

We would like to announce the recent publication of the following paper: R 
Barber, I Sikora & M Nimak-Wood (2016): Blue whales Balaenoptera musculus in 
offshore waters of Kenya, African Journal of Marine Science, DOI: 
10.2989/1814232X.2016.1182590

Observations of blue whales were made in Kenyan offshore waters during a 
seismic survey from September 2014 to January 2015. These represent the first 
live at-sea sightings of blue whales reported from Kenyan waters. All 30 
sightings occurred between September and October in waters ranging from 2 990 
to 4 705 m depth. It is unknown to which of the three possible subspecies the 
animals sighted belong. Based on timing and geographical location, they are 
likely to have been either Antarctic blue whalesBalaenoptera musculus 
intermedia, Madagascar pygmy blue whales B. m. brevicauda or northern Indian 
Ocean blue whales B. m. indica.

approved by New Zealand's Department of Conservation (DOC).

The Pro-MMO NZ entirely meets the requirements of the curriculum outlined in 
the '2013 Code of Conduct for Minimising Acoustic Disturbance to Marine Mammals 
from Seismic Survey Operations'. This dedicated training programme is devoted 
to producing competent, professional marine mammal observers, capable of

outlined below and be available for the practical field days in New Zealand.


The course is designed to be of benefit to both experienced and inexperienced 
MMOs.

Candidates who successfully complete this course will be certified as 'trained' 
observers as per standards in the Code.  After gaining a minimum of 12 weeks of 
experience working on seismic surveys in New Zealand, trained observers will 
then advance to the status of 'qualified' observers.
