We're also welcoming abstracts on marine megafauna and climate change from other regions to create a comprehensive global picture

But climate change is transforming their world: rising ocean temperatures, expanding Oxygen Minimum Zones, and shifts in prey availability from mesopelagic fish to krill (3).

These incredible species constantly traverse vast distances—some crossing entire oceans, others migrating between tropics and poles (2).

Discover how the ocean's giants—whales, dolphins, sea turtles, sharks, and rays—are responding to our changing climate! This symposium features groundbreaking research from the Save the Blue 5 project in the Eastern Tropical Pacific (1).

Featured Symposium: Megafauna on the Move — Eastern Tropical Pacific and Beyond
