Marine mammal research is fraught with challenges. Scientists must study massive animals that inhabit vast environments and spend most of their time well below from the surface.<\/p>\n
The research technologies developed for these species must take these factors into account in order to collect sufficient volumes of usable data. For several years now, the use of biopsies<\/strong> (skin and blubber samples) and satellite tags<\/strong> (sensors attached to the animals) has allowed scientists to analyze the world of whales like never before. The wealth of information gathered on health, movement, and behaviour is essential for better understanding and protecting these giants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Marine mammal research is fraught with challenges.
