An overview of a PhD project using novel remote-sensing techniques to quantify fine-scale seabird and hydrodynamic habitat associations in tidally driven currents, with a focus on X-band marine radar for seabird tracking above water.
Preliminary bycatch reports from Kep and Kampot, Cambodia, confirm the presence of green turtles (Chelonia mydas) and highlight bycatch as a result of illegal, unregulated, and unreported bottom trawling as the most pertinent, perennial threat. Recommendations for conservation action emphasize the importance of a community-based approach, engagemen...
The Kep Archipelago in Cambodia supports a variety of ecologically important species, including the Endangered coastal Irrawaddy dolphin Orcaella brevirostris. This dolphin population has recently been subject to increased research, but faces growing threats from a variety of anthropogenic pressures, including pollution and illegal, unreported and...
Report summarising the pilot phase of the Priority Habitats project
The marine habitats within the Kep Archipelago, Cambodia, support species of conservation importance and commercial value. Despite the area being designated a Marine Fisheries Management Area (equivalent to a Marine Protected Area locally), illegal trawling has continued to damage vulnerable habitats within the region. To augment the protection of...
Cetacean behavior has long attracted scientific attention as humans endeavor to discover what makes these mammals so emotive and engaging. To date, much of this research has focussed on abundant and widely distributed cetacean species such as bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). As an endangered and...
Important tropical ecosystems in Kampot province are highly threatened by coastal and industrial developments as well as illegal fishing pressures, which destroy habitat and overexploit marine species. In November 2019, Wild Earth Allies (WEA; Cambodia), cooperated with the Conservation Department of the Cambodian Fisheries Administration (FiA), Fi...
Irrawaddy dolphins (Orcaella brevirostris) are a globally Endangered cetacean species found in rivers, lakes, estuaries, and coastal waters across Southeast Asia. Whilst much attention has concentrated on understanding freshwater populations of the species, marine populations have received less research attention, with the majority of marine studie...
Resultados preliminares de foto identificación del delfín nariz de botella (Tursiops truncatus) en Montenegro Introducción El delfín nariz de botella (Tursiops truncatus) ha sido foco del estudio sobre cetáceos del Mar Adriático durante las últimas dos décadas. La falta de información sobre su abun-dancia, distribución y patrón de movimiento dificu...
