Image of The Day caption:
WHOI biologist Mark Baumgartner attaches an archival suction-cup tag to a North Atlantic right whale while the NOAA Ship Delaware II stands ready to begin environmental sampling in proximity to the whale. The tagging and environmental sampling work is part of an ongoing collaborative study of right whale ecology in the southwestern Gulf of Maine by WHOI and the NOAA Northeast Fisheries Science Center. Learn more about right whale ecology and conservation at the next Science Made Public talk on July 19.
Image of The Day caption (repeat play):
A WHOI biologist attaches an archival suction-cup tag to a North Atlantic right whale in 2010 while the NOAA Ship Delaware II stands ready to begin environmental sampling nearby. The majority of the approximately 450 North Atlantic right on Earth disappear from human observation between late fall and early spring. At today's Science Made Public lecture, Nadine Lysiak will describe how researchers are using new techniques to determine the location of currently unknown right whale habitats and how recent research has improved conservation efforts of these endangered animals. The talk begins at 2:30 in the WHOI Ocean Science Exhibit Center auditorium.
