Marine Mammal and Marine Turtle Population Biology

Our work includes conducting research on the status-of-stocks of the cetacean, marine turtle, and pinniped populations influenced by anthropogenic factors in the Pacific Ocean, primarily the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean and the California Current. We also maintain research programs that focus on (1) estimators of relative and absolute abundance, condition, and replacement rates; (2) decision making in a conservation management context; (3) population and molecular genetics of intraspecific structure; (4) remote sensing involvin...
