PRBO's Marine Ecology Division uses science to guide ocean ecosystem protection, conservation, and management. Our projects focus on four key areas:

1. Ocean predators as bio-indicators of climate change and habitat quality.
2. Population dynamics, reproduction, and survival of seabird, marine mammal and white shark populations.
3. Life history characteristics: diet, feeding ecology, and energetic needs of seabirds in relation to marine fisheries and pollution.
4. Creation of Marine Protected Areas (MPA's) and Marine Reserves (MRV's) to protect ocean ecoystems.
