Dr. Heather Heenehan University of New England In September 2016, the West Indies distinct population segment (DPS) of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) was delisted under the US Endangered Species Act. In response to these changes in humpback status and evidence supporting more than one breeding population in the West Indies, the Caribbean Humpback Acoustic Monitoring […]

Dr. Erin Bertrand Assistant Professor Dept. of Biology and Canada Research Chair in Microbial Proteomics Dalhousie University Marine phytoplankton are responsible for roughly half of global net primary production, support marine food webs and play critical roles in the global carbon cycle. Phytoplankton often require exogenous sources of specific organic and organometallic micronutrients for growth; […]
The School of Marine Sciences presents Dr. Michael Palmer Northeast Fisheries Science Center By the mid to late 1990s the biomass of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in the Gulf of Maine had declined by over 50% from the early 1980s. These declines, along with those of other regional groundfish stocks, led to severe fishery management […]
The School of Marine Sciences presents Dr. David Emerson Bigelow Laboratories The broad scale use of molecular-based methods to monitor ecosystem processes is opening new insights into marine ecosystem communities and processes and how we study them. In simplest terms, the basis for these approaches focuses on the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) collected directly […]
The School of Marine Sciences presents Dr. Nancy Knowlton, Smithsonian Institute Most of the planet is ocean. For centuries its vastness stood in the way of scientific understanding and humancaused damage, but that has now changed. Marine scientists today can take advantage of technologies to understand life in the ocean in ways that were previously […]
The School of Marine Sciences presents Dr. Cynthia Jones Old Dominion University Since the 1800s, scientists noted that the hard parts of temperate water fish (scales or otoliths) recorded annular marks that could be used to study demography, much like taking a census for humans. Consequently, ecologists could analyze the age structure to determine birth […]
