Dr. Hilary Moors-Murphy is a Research Scientist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), leading the Maritimes Region Cetacean Research and Monitoring Program. Her main area of expertise is marine mammal bioacoustics. The objectives of her research program include increasing knowledge of cetacean occurrence off eastern Canada through innovative collection, analysis, and management of broadscale, long-term passive acoustic monitoring and sightings data. These data can help in the assessment of risks and impacts of human activities, increasing our understanding of threats to cetaceans and informing management and mitigation measures.
