It covers a broad range of topics, including cetacean acoustics, dolphin and orca behaviour, and the long-term monitoring of ocean conditions, while also documenting the area’s rich biodiversity. The report further explores the aftermath of the largest baleen whale mass mortality event on record and highlights the role of community engagement and creative outreach in advancing marine conservation in the region.
