Accomplishments

Cetos Research Organization has passed its five year mark incorporated as a successful non-profit. We are coming into 8th year. In that time we have completed a wide variety of many successful studies, publications, reports, and surveys. We are growing all the time and have consistently added new studies, on new species, in new locations, with an ever growing staff, many of whom are successful and published researchers. We have two main centers – Cetos Atlantic and Cetos Pacific, and a third satellite office in Hawaii, to accommodate our growth and diversity of projects occurring in multiple locations.

To date we have produced 3 peer-reviewed scientific publications on data that came out of our various projects, with a 4th accepted for publication and pending release. We have completed 3 successful deep water offshore field monitoring acoustic and/or  visual survey projects; we are going into our 8th  year of humpback whale studies; we have supported and facilitated ongoing studies on both the vaquita and the minke whale; we have initiated collaborations with a colleague and respected scientist who studies blue whales and killer whales; we have supported elementary school programs for young children so that they can have an opportunity, in some cases for the first time in their lives, to encounter wildlife and to be in natural habitat;  and much much more.

To see a short list of our recent or pending work, please refer to the Cetos Recent News on the home page, or our other Cetos News page.

Cetos is registered in the Federal Agency Registration database. We have a Central Contractor Registration (CCR) number so Cetos is eligible for federal contracts. We also have a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number. This has facilitated our work with Federal agencies such as NAVFAC Pacific, NWFSC, and others. We are interested in working with the Federal government as these agencies are in actuality at the frontlines of groups and individuals that consistently work at sea and who interact with marine wildlife globally, in both nearshore and offshore waters, with activities that may have the potential to disturb marine wildlife. Our goal of educating seafaring groups to minimize their impacts and potential disturbances to marine wildlife is met partially out of our work on federal projects.
