Dear MARMAM, My co-authors and I are pleased to announce the publication of our article in the Marine Mammal Science Journal: Corrêa, A. A., Quoos, J. H., Barreto, A. S., Groch, K. R., & Eichler, P. P. B. (2021). Use of satellite imagery to identify southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) on a Southwest Atlantic Ocean breeding ground. Marine Mammal Science, 1– 15. https://doi.org/10.1111/mms.12847 Abstract: Satellite imagery has been used to improve scientific research worldwide. In this study, the southern right whale (Eubalaena australis) was chosen to test the use of medium, high, and very high resolution (VHR) satellite images, on the Brazilian breeding ground. These images were used to identify the whales and were compared to aerial survey data collected in the same area. The VHR satellite images from the Pleiades-1A satellite, available on Google Earth, displayed the best results when compared to those from Sentinel 2, Landsat 8, Rapid Eye, and Planet Scope. No significant differences were observed (Mann-Whitney U test) between the possible whales recorded in the satellite images and of real whales recorded in situ by aerial surveys while considering either the number of groups (p = .841, n = 5) or the total number of animals (p = .222, n = 5). Further, when using VHR images, the geographical positions of the whales recorded in situ had a positive correlation with the positions generated from the satellite images (Mantel test: r = 0.52, p = .001, n = 13). This technique may represent an important tool for detecting right whales, especially in countries where research funding is scarce.
