A sound approach to killer whale conservation: understanding and protecting the ocean’s top predator
Professor of Wildlife Conservation at the University of Cumbria, Volker Deecke will present the results of research using innovative digital recording tags to understand the foraging behaviour of mammal-hunting and fish-eating killer whales in the Northeast Pacific. Killer whales are the top predato...
