Circum-polar Surveillance of the Antarctic Sea-ice Ecosystem
“Climate change in Antarctica carries local and global ramifications. Systematic, long-term, observations are one of the most powerful ways to gain mechanistic understanding of the complex ecological shifts taking place in the remote Polar marine realms.”
The Humpback Whale Sentinel Programme’s vision is to advance understanding of climate-driven ecosystem shifts, and pollution issues in Antarctica, and to help transform knowledge into action. Our mission is to deliver high quality scientific data for the research and policy community, in support of evidence-led environmental policy and decision-making.
