Prof Karen Stockin BSc(Hons), MSc, PhD, IWC, RDF Fellow

Professor

Doctoral Mentor Supervisor
School of Natural Sciences

As Research Leader of the Cetacean Ecology Research Group, my research interfaces marine biology, behavioural ecology, vet pathology and animal welfare science. In particular, my programme focuses on anthropogenic impacts which affect individuals as well as populations, including toxicology, vessel impacts (direct/indirect) and human-wildlife interactions. As a current Rutherford Discovery Fellow, I am assessing how AI and Animal Welfare Science can increase the effectiveness of human intervention efforts during mass stranding events. Specifically, I am addressing the conservation-welfare nexus that occurs when the humans intervene to rescue wildlife. As the inaugural Strandings Coordinator (2018-2020) for the International Whaling Commission (IWC) and current serving specialist on the IWC Strandings Initiative Expert Panel, my international engagement on matters of strandings investigation and emergency response is globally recognised.

Current Projects

Project Title: Ko ahau te tohorā, te tohorā ko ahau, I am the whale, and the whale is me – A call for Mātauranga Māori to improve whale stranding response in Aotearoa

The health of whales and people are inextricably linked – Ko au te tohorā, te tohorā ko au, I am the whale, and the whale is me. This research will apply existing technology and Mātauranga to deliver the first example of an active, participatory, Māori-led, approach to marine mammal management in Aotearoa. A key outcome will be the enabling of Māori focused live assessment and post-mortem sampling of tohorā in support of animal welfare and health investigations, while promoting safe practices among Māori marine mammal workers, informed by Ngā Take.
