Caroline has been working for Falklands Conservation since October 2016, initiating a multi-faceted field research project on sei whales (Balaenoptera borealis) in the Falkland Islands. Although typically encountered in deep, oceanic waters in many parts of their ranges, the Falkland

We just published a short note in Marine Biodiversity Records describing the occurrence of dusky dolphins (Lagenorhynchus obscurus) in the Falkland Islands: Weir, C.R. and Black, A. (2018). Records of the dusky dolphin (Lagenorhynchus obscurus) in the Falkland Islands, including assoc

A new collaborative paper has just been published that describes the occurrence of “bent fins” in species of cetaceans worldwide. During my work on sei whales at Falklands Conservation, we photographed one whale in East Falkland with an unusual bent over dorsal fin that ha
