Thanks to all who joined our round table discussion with members of the Ocean Modeling Forum's Marine Mammal Bycatch Working Group<https://oceanmodelingforum.org/working-groups/marine-mammal-bycatch-working-group/> to learn about their main findings and final products on how to assess and manage marine mammal bycatch. All Working Group products are linked below and for the event recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMX_fggxpw4 Also join us next week (Thursday, March 24) as our focus on assessing marine mammal bycatch continues with a webinar on another Lenfest-funded project applying the Bycatch Risk Assessment (ByRA) Toolbox<https://www.lenfestocean.org/en/research-projects/marine-mammal-bycatch-risk-assessment-in-chile> to the Chilean coast. Click here to register<https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_tVR5cCmWSXW0tfl-dyXInQ> for the webinar.
