June 3-day workshop a success!                
 
 
Thanks to your support, our research team converged in Santa Barbara, CA June 15-17 to finalize our cumulative impacts assessment for Southern Resident Killer Whales. Now, we are excitedly putting the final touches on the paper, and are creating some flashy figures with the extra 20% we raised over our original fundraising goal -- thank you! Our next 'lab note' will be to share the results of the study and give you an update on publication. 
Oh, and Happy Shark Week!
Sincerely,
Lindsey, Robert, Carrie and Leah

About This Project

Comprehensive Conservation of Southern Resident Killer Whales in the Modern Ocean

University of California, Santa Barbara

Southern Resident Killer Whales are endangered; only 85 remain. In today's modern ocean they face many threats simultaneously. A holistic approach to addressing the cumulative impacts of all threats is needed. However, data are sparse, making it difficult to identify which threat(s) is causing the most harm. We are developing a new, comprehensive way to assess threats by having experts fill data gaps. With your help, we can pinpoint which protective actions will help Southern Residents recover.
