A great time was had this last Friday evening in Aptos, California. Many of our wonderful and valued colleagues, friends, and family were able to attend our 15th anniversary holiday party. We sure did miss those that couldn’t make it, but thankful for those that came. Cheers to the next 15!

Southall Environmental Associates lead  a new paper  on the behavioral responses of dolphins to Naval sonar. See our blog post for exciting new press coverage, amazing imagery, and interesting interviews with SEA employees.

Southall Environmental Associates leads a new paper just released on the behavioral responses of dolphins to Naval sonar.

SEA scientists have just published new research using cutting-edge technologies to investigate affects navy sonar may have on the behavior of common dolphins…a species very difficult to study in the wild. Read what lead authors Drs Caroline Casey and Selene Fregosi have to say by clicking here!

The tremendous efforts of dozens of Marine Vibroseis team members finally paid off after years of preparation, planning and finally… execution. Between June 24th and July 16th, 33 satellite tags were deployed on cetaceans in Catalina, off the coast of California. This multiple-scale field effort successfully…and safely…collected an incredible amount of dive, position, acoustic, and heart-rate (!) data. We all know these efforts and achievements don’t come without their own setbacks (thanks, Covid), but SEA thanks this team that was willful and determined to overcome and tackle this difficult but exciting new work.
