From one of our earliest interviews, here is the repeat of Dr. Kim Goetz and her work in tracking Blue Whales off New Zealand, as well as her other work. It is scientists like Dr. Geoetz who is helping us understand these oceanic creatures better! Dr Kim Goetz is a marine ecologist at the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric research where she specializes on the movement and foraging behavior of marine mammals and seabirds. Dr Goetz is passionate about making the results from her scientific research accessible to both the public and policy makers so that conservation and management plans are data driven. She grew up in Colorado earning her bachelors degree with an interest in conservation. Her Master’s research from Duke University took her to the Arctic where she studied Beluga whales, among other species. Once she completed her PhD from the University of California at Santa Cruz she soon relocated to New Zealand to begin her research career.
