Four sperm whale strandings point to potential human causes
Four sperm whales that stranded separately on southeastern U.S. coastlines between 2020–22 were emaciated and malnourished, with ingested fishing gear and marine debris found in two of them, according to a new study that compared the four cases. The investigations, intended to better understand the causes behind whale deaths and to inform future marine mammal management decisions, were reported in a study published in the journal Diseases of Aquatic Organisms.

Ms. Que BanhNew #research aims to bring underwater noise’s true impact on killer whales into focus.
Extended periods of time at sea are necessary to collect the data that will bring us closer to understanding – and protecting – killer whales.
Our #cetacean #scientists are preparing for an ambitious 2026 field season aboard Raincoast’s Sailing Vessel Achiever. #RaincoastConservationFoundation has joined forces with #EarthSpeciesProject , a #nonprofit research lab using machine learning to advance our understanding of #AnimalCommunication. At the heart of this project is a deceptively simple idea: to watch and listen at the same time. The team aims to uncover how killer whales use sound to coordinate movements, share prey, and maintain social bonds – to ultimately understand and mitigate how noise pollution interferes with these processes.
