The Hawai‘i Marine Mammal Consortium (HMMC) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that studies marine mammals within Hawaiian waters and promotes the collaboration of researchers. HMMC has made a commitment toward the outreach and education of the public on issues regarding the conservation of the marine environment and the whales, dolphins, and seals that inhabit it. HMMC has invited PIPIN to join the Consortium. This is an exciting partnership! PIPIN will operate under HMMC’s umbrella and will continue working on the collaborative effort in creating a spinner dolphin photo-identification catalog within the Hawaiian Archipelago and the Pacific Islands Region. Together PIPIN and HMMC will work toward a greater understanding of spinner dolphin stock structure, abundance, habitat use, movements, and vital rates. Such information is critical for making decisions with regard to the conservation of the species. |

Hi folks, Most of you are probably off exploring Cape Town and other parts of South Africa, but I wanted to post a link to a UH today article on PIPIN, and spinners, in Hawaii. I think that they did a great job with the facts on this article, and the Slideshow section on PIPIN is informative and on track. To see the story, point your browser here. |
