Previous DCLDE Workshops

DCLDE 2013 St Andrews, Scotland

The 2013 workshop was dedicated to the improvement of detection systems for right whales, both for the analysis of long term archival data sets and for real time mitigation. Right whales remain one of the most endangered great whales on the planet. North Atlantic right whales continue to suffer ship strikes and fishing gear entanglement and it is possible that they will become impacted by the installation of renewable energy devices in the coming years.
