Welcome to the Pacific Islands blog!

Bula,

This is the first of many installments that will provide you with details about WDCS’s work in the Pacific Islands Region. I’ve been fortunate to work in the region for many years now including some very interesting locations like Samoa, Tonga, Papua New Guinea and the Federated States of Micronesia. In 2008 I moved to Fiji on a more permanent basis and have been working in collaboration with the University of the South Pacific and Flinders University as I run the Pacific Islands Programme for WDCS.

Getting ready for a day of humpback whale research

A pair of spinner dolphins in Papua New Guinea

I’ll shortly be telling you about some of our ongoing projects including research on spinner dolphin resting habitat, short-finned pilot whale acoustics, and humpback whale migration. I’ll also be updating you on other WDCS initiatives including technical work with the UN Convention of Migratory Species and regional capacity building trainings and workshops.

I’ll also be throwing in some insights about living on a small tropical island in the middle of the very large Pacific Ocean.

More soon … so stay tuned.

Moce, Cara

Hi Cara,

The blueness of that sea is quite obscene, you should be ashamed calling living in that paradise "work" !

Best Wishes from a VERY grey Moray Firth, Scotland

Thanks Charlie. Well the Pacific Islands Region is mostly ocean with tiny islands sprinkled in between so I get to see a lot of it! I would love to come and see those giant Scottish bottlenose dolphins, although it will have to be in your "summer" (as you call it).
Best,
Cara
