New Zealand sea lion

  • Pup count Auckland Islands 2014
  • Resighting marked animals Auckland

Islands?

  • Causes of mortality, diet, winter data….?
  • Assess the contribution of different

causes of mortality to overall decline, e.g. Klebsiella? e.g. risk assessment (relate to TMP)

  • Pup count Campbell Island?
  • Tracking Campbell Island? (NIWA

project)

Hector’s/Mauis dolphin

  • Mauis dolphin RAG

– Standard summer boat and aerial regional surveys – Alongshore aerial surveys WCNI

  • MPI and other research on Hector’s dolphin

– Focus on investigating population structure and gene flow between populations through biopsy (ECSI, TOS, WCNI) – Genotyping and origin of toxoplasmosis – Improving public awareness and data collection

  • CSP support to fisher return of Hector’s/Mauis

dolphins

Humpback whales

  • Tracking to identify high risk areas

for pot line and setnet entanglement (MPI BRAG project?)

  • Photo ID of entanglement scars

and collection of material to quantify the issue, and identify

  • rigin of entanglements (could link

in with CSWS)

– Southern right whales (distribution, potential areas of overlap as population increases) – Blue whales ??
