What will I learn?
You will build a complete skill set across every major area of marine mammal science, from taxonomy and physiology to behavioural ecology and genetics. You will learn to design and execute cetacean field surveys using visual, acoustic, aerial, and drone-based methods. You will apply statistical models to estimate population size, survival rates, and conservation status. You will gain hands-on knowledge of stranding response protocols, health assessment, and diagnostic sample collection. You will also study the full range of anthropogenic threats and learn how to develop mitigation plans and marine protected area strategies grounded in current science.
