NESP MaC Project 1.22 - A photo-identification study of southern right whales to update aggregation area classification in the southwest of Australia

该记录概述了NESP海洋和沿海枢纽小规模研究--“更新澳大利亚西南部聚集区分类的南部露脊鲸照片识别研究”。有关此项目的特定数据输出，请参阅与此元数据关联的子记录。<br/> <br/> 南半球南露脊鲸的数量一直在缓慢恢复，从濒临灭绝的边缘恢复过来，因为在20世纪70年代中期S禁止捕鲸之前，它因捕鲸而大量死亡。随着该物种的恢复，越来越多的证据表明聚集区扩大。因此，有必要更新已建立的聚集区和生物重要区(BIAS)，并根据新的证据更新相关的海岸公园管理计划。该项目拟于2010年至2020年在澳大利亚西南部完成照片-身份证匹配，并将图像上传到国家ARWPIC目录。<br/> <br/> 产出<br/> ·1991-2021年澳大利亚西南部鲸鱼的照片识别(照片配对有助于ARWPIC)<br/> ·一份报告，其中包括根据联邦标准更新澳大利亚西南部聚集区分类的证据和建议[书面]

This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub small-scale study - "A photo-identification study of southern right whales to update aggregation area classification in the southwest of Australia". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.<br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> The population of Southern Right Whales (SRW) in the Southern Hemisphere has been recovering slowly from near extinction due to its decimation from whaling before its ban in the mid-1970’s. As the species recovers, there is increasing evidence of expansion of aggregation areas. Consequently, there is a need to update known established aggregation areas and Biologically Important Areas (BIAs) and update relevant Marine Parks management plans based on new evidence. This project proposes to collate and complete photo-ID matching since 2010 to 2020 in the southwest of Australia and upload images to the National ARWPIC catalogue.<br /> <br /> Outputs<br /> • Photo-identifications of individual whales in southwestern Australia for 1991-2021 (photo-matches contributed to ARWPIC)<br /> • A report including evidence and recommendations for updating aggregation area classification in the southwest of Australia according to the Commonwealth criteria [written]
