Unique research records rare whale species in Cook Strait

Written By Trevor @ Hop Creative

NEW ZEALAND—In 2106, NIWA marine ecologist Dr Kim Goetz led a programme to deploy seven acoustic moorings in Cook Strait and captured what are likely to be the first recordings of Gray’s and strap-toothed beaked whales in New Zealand waters.

Extra staff are being employed to help underwater acoustic company JASCO Applied Sciences process the massive amounts of data produced, and the moorings have been redeployed.
