Predicting whale distribution to inform conservation
- "Scientists at the New England Aquarium’s Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life recently published a study that could help researchers learn where protections are needed the most for bowhead whales... Most species distribution models use data such as ocean depth, temperature, and water chemistry, but with the addition of food—one of the species’ primary drivers for inhabiting an area—the Aquarium scientists were able to improve the ability to make these predictions." - Excerpt from New England Aquarium
