Tracking Cetaceans in the San Francisco Bay (Why it's Important) with Bill Keener, Marine Mammal Center (Sausalito, CA USA) Cetacean Field Research Associate

  • サマリー

  • Recorded late Oct '24, this podcast is a deep dive into the history of whales, dolphins, and porpoises in the San Francisco Bay, and up the Pacific coast.

    Keener joined The Marine Mammal Center in the 70s as an animal care volunteer and later served as Exec. Dir. in the early 80s. In his current role as a Research Associate on the Center’s Cetacean Field Research Team, he focuses on the study of whales, dolphins and porpoises.

    A co-founder of the former nonprofit Golden Gate Cetacean Research, Bill’s career highlights include the first-ever humpback whale and bottlenose dolphin photo-id catalogs for the Bay, and a multi-year project to document the return of harbor porpoises to the Bay after an absence of 65 years. His latest scientific publications concern the porpoises’ social / feeding behavior based on observations made from the Golden Gate Bridge.

    Bill’s other research experience includes assisting with the first harbor porpoise census for the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary in the late 80s. He has worked as a whale watch naturalist for the Oceanic Society and recently retired from the U.S. EPA.

    My mission is not only to study our local whales, dolphins and porpoises, but to introduce people to this wildlife spectacle in their own ‘backyard’ of San Francisco Bay. Scientific data and public awareness are both critical to en
