  • Distribution Patterns of East Australian Humpback Whales (Megaptera Novaeangliae) in Hervey Bay, Queensland: a Historical Perspective
    CSIRO PUBLISHING Australian Mammalogy, 202 0 , 4 2 ,16–24127 https://doi.org/10.1071/AM18029 Distribution patterns of east Australian humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in Hervey Bay, Queensland: a historical perspective S. H. Stack A,B, J. J. Currie A, J. A. McCordic A, A. F. Machernis A and G. L. Olson A APacific Whale Foundation, 300 Ma’alaea Road, Suite 211, Wailuku, Maui, HI 96793, USA. BCorresponding author. Email: research@pacificwhale.org Abstract. Tourism activities are expanding in both terrestrial and marine environments, which can have detrimental effects on the target species. Balancing the amount of disturbance a population of animals receives against the educational value of tourism requires localised research and adaptive management. This study examined the distribution of humpback whales within Hervey Bay, Queensland, using data spanning 2004–16, just before the implementation of a commercial ‘swim-with-whales’ program. Spatial and temporal patterns of humpback whale calves were of particular interest given that they are more vulnerable to human-related disturbances than other group types. We found that humpback whales displayed a distinct spatial segregation in Hervey Bay based on pod composition. Most whales displayed a residency time of two to three days, with females having a somewhat shorter residency time than males. These findings suggest that humpback whales in Hervey Bay not only display temporal segregation dependent on maturation and reproductive status, but fine-scale spatial distribution based on pod composition. Understanding habitat preference and patterns of habitat use of humpback whales in Hervey Bay is critical for effective management of the newly sanctioned swim-with-whale tourism in Hervey Bay and the sustained recovery of humpback whales in this region.

  • Southern Right Whale Recovery Plan 2005
    SOUTHERN RIGHT WHALE RECOVERY PLAN 2005 - 2010 The southern right whale (Eubalaena australis) is listed as endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). This plan outlines the measures necessary to ensure recovery of the Australian population of southern right whales and is set out in accordance with Part 13, Division 5 of the EPBC Act. Objectives for recovery The objectives are: • the recovery of the southern right whale population utilising Australian waters so that the population can be considered secure in the wild; • a distribution of southern right whales utilising Australian waters that is similar to the pre- exploitation distribution of the species; and • to maintain the protection of southern right whales from human threats. For the purposes of this plan ‘secure in the wild’ is defined qualitatively, recognising that stricter definitions are not yet available, but will be refined and where possible quantified during the life of this plan by work currently underway and identified in the actions of this plan. ‘Secure in the wild’ with respect to southern right whales in Australian waters means: a population with sufficient geographic range and distribution, abundance, and genetic diversity to provide a stable population over long time scales. Criteria to measure performance of the plan against the objectives It is not anticipated that the objectives for recovery will be achieved during the life of this plan. However, the following criteria can be used to measure the ongoing performance of this plan against the objectives: 1. the Australian population of southern right whales continued to recover at, or close to, the optimum biological rate (understood to be approximately 7% per annum at the commencement of this plan); 2.
