* We maintained analysis and publication of research outcomes from the long-term study of humpback whales in Hervey Bay, Queensland, Australia. Three new scientific publications were published during the year. Three further manuscripts are in preparation for submission to journals. Drs Trish and Wally Franklin are now authors or co-authors of twenty-six scientific publications about the humpback whales of Hervey Bay. * We moved forward with re-development of The Oceania Projects website including the incorporation of an Artifical Inteeligence (AI) Portal to provide access for other research scientist to engage with the Hervey Bay dataset and to permit Citizen Scientists to add new sightings to the sightings database. This is a three year project which will provide a Global Education, RFesearch and Information resource for humpback whales and will also enable continued research for the conservation, care and protection of the Hervey Bay and eastern Asutralian humpback whale population.
