Where Do They Go? Investigating Movements of Highly Mobile Marine and Anadromous Species for Management and Conservation
Session ID#: 259318
Session Description:
Animal movement is an essential ocean variable because the movement of aquatic animals provides innumerable services to ocean ecosystems that extends to the planet writ large. Understanding when, where, why and how animals move in the marine environment is critical for improving our knowledge of how species interact with their environment.
Movements of highly mobile marine and anadromous species are difficult to quantify due to their expansive ranges, complex life histories, and use of diverse and dynamic habitats. Studying these species often relies on emerging tracking technologies (e.g. biologging, acoustic telemetry) and/or indirect methods (e.g. eDNA, stable isotopes, sightings). All which present unique challenges in marine and coastal systems.
This session invites contributions that advance our understanding of animal movement, especially those that integrate habitat use data into demographic models, stock assessments, and spatial management strategies. We welcome presentations that incorporate diverse data collection methods, data-sharing initiatives, dataset re-use, and modeling techniques. By highlighting research across jurisdictions and taxa (e.g., fishes, mammals, turtles, birds), we aim to identify emerging best practices for future collaborative animal tracking research and address knowledge gaps in applications of movement ecology to management and population dynamics.
