MMRP Hawaii

Humpback whales, climate change

and prey availability

In the face of climate change and shifting prey availability, the aim of this project is to quantify the bioenergetic demands of humpback whale migration between Alaskan feeding and Hawaiian breeding grounds.

RESEARCH CAPACITY

COLLABORATIVE SCIENCE

We work collaboratively with other researchers, management agencies, NGOs and local communities.

NEW TECHNOLOGIES

We use non-invasive and innovative technologies to study the ecology of marine species.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

Our empirical and applied research informs mitigation strategies to minimize impacts of human activities on marine life.

AreaS of Research

MMRP focuses on population and spatial ecology, behavior, health and their application to conservation
