At OPRU, our research envisions the assessment and  prediction  of  ocean  pollution  and  multiple- anthropogenic stressors and impacts (i.e., climate change, fisheries pressure and interactions) on marine fauna and ecosystems, using marine mammals, seabirds, sea turtles and other top predators as sentinels of ocean health (“canaries in the coal mine”).
