ABOUT
about the whales & climate
change program
Many whale populations are now in the process of recovering following over- exploitation by the whaling industry. Climate change is one of the next biggest challenges that whales are facing. We have put together an international, multidisciplinary team from Australia, South Africa and South America to address this problem in understanding the present and future of whales. This is the largest program of its kind focused on whales and climate.
THE RESEARCH PROJECT
This research program establishes a fundamental understanding of how changing ocean conditions are influencing the recovery of humpback whale populations and develop adaptation scenarios for advancing whale conservation, policies and programs. It will also lay the path for future research on other baleen species.
the research runs under 4 major themes
This research program establishes a fundamental understanding of how changing ocean conditions are influencing the recovery of humpback whale populations and develop adaptation scenarios for advancing whale conservation policies and programs under climate change.
