Tagging Whales in Antarctica with One Ocean Expeditions

One Ocean Expeditions is proud to partner with scientists as they conduct important research on board our vessels. Glimpse these gentle giants from above as Marine Mammal scientists perform non-invasive suction cup tagging. DR ARI FRIEDLAENDER is a marine ecologist at UC Santa Cruz and the California Ocean Alliance. Ari and his team conduct research in Antarctica to improve our understanding of whales, focusing on underwater behaviour and ecological links between marine mammals and their environments. By analysing tag-derived data collected onboard with OOE, we can learn about how whales interact with their environment and how they are affected by climate change. Ari has partnered with One Ocean Expeditions, the World Wildlife Fund and Antarctic Wildlife Research Fund to promote the development of marine protected areas in Antarctica.
