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-“南露脊鲸照片识别研究，以更新澳大利亚西南部聚集区分类”。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 /> <br /> 南半球的南露脊鲸（SRW）的数量一直在缓慢地从濒临灭绝的状态中恢复，这是由于在20世纪70年代中期禁止捕鲸之前的捕鲸行为造成的。随着物种的恢复，有越来越多的证据表明聚集区的扩大。因此，有需要根据新的证据，更新已知的已确定聚集区和生物重要区，并更新有关的海岸公园管理计划。该项目拟整理和完成澳大利亚西南部2010年至2020年的照片-身份证匹配，并将图像上传到国家ARWPIC目录。<br /> <br /> 输出<br /> ·1991-2021年澳大利亚西南部鲸鱼个体的照片识别（照片匹配贡献给ARWPIC）<br /> ·一份报告，包括根据英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]
