We've been surveying Jacquinot Bay on the south coast of New Britain. Deep-water ringed by mountains it's akin to Silur Bay in New Ireland. We've seen Dwarf Sperm #Whales and plenty of dolphins but none of the rafting petrels found in Silur.

We've deferred plans until 2019 having had to abort when half the team were in place, the other half stuck overseas. It's heart breaking to see RSPB have to do the same with their amazing and ambitious plans for Gough Island reputation: theguardian.com/environment/20…

Totally amazing to see this great work - it would be fantastic to develop work on Becks #Petrel in Papua New Guinea in this way.

We're delighted to share this collaborative The Australian Mammal Society paper on our survey of cetaceans along the coast of southern New Britain. The aims of our CEPF and National Geographic work were to share knowledge and training and gather baseline data. publish.csiro.au/am/AM21005
