Fluctuations
Constant change drives local ecosystems
November 27, 2019
A MarineGEO project with sites in Panama aims to understand the influence of coastal biology on the highly variable oceanic pH levels of near-shore ecosystems
Hope for Chucunaque
First Jaguar in Panama fitted with GPS transmitter
November 29, 2019
After years of catching jaguars only in camera-trap images, Ricardo Moreno, STRI research associate and National Geographic Emerging Explorer, and a team of 20 biologists and community members were able to catch a jaguar and fit it with a transmitter that will help researchers conserve these majestic cats in the wild.
Baby shark
Fishing exclusion zones to help manage shark populations in Pacific Panama
December 17, 2019
Researchers identify 11 potential nursery areas of locally common and migratory sharks, which could help support shark conservation efforts in Panama and the region.
Bright Spot
Plenty of gloom with a dash of hope: Fossils reveal a lone reef in similar state to coral reefs before human impact
February 28, 2020
Fossil corals show what reefs were like before human impact and reveal a modern “bright spot” reef with apparent long-term resilience to deterioration caused by humans.
Just a little respect
Bocas dolphins may be more sociable while we shelter in place
April 13, 2020
A study of dolphin behavior in the presence of tourist boats informs conservation efforts.
Chronic exposure
Long-term consequences of coastal development as bad as an Oil Spill on Coral Reefs
May 20, 2020
Three decades after the largest recorded oil spill near coastal habitats in Panama, scientists look at how coral reefs recover from acute contamination over time
Mision Manati
Science and technology for the conservation of manatees in Bocas del Toro and the Ngäbe-Buglé region
July 09, 2020
Manatees are endangered aquatic mammals. To help protect them, researchers Héctor Guzmán from STRI, Fernando Merchán, Héctor Poveda and Javier Sánchez-Galán from the Technological University of Panama (UTP), and Guillaume Ferré from ENSEIRB-MATMECA, developed a monitoring system based on hydrophones, which detects in real-time the underwater calls these animals make to communicate with each other.
Compliance
Have vessels cooperated with whale conservation efforts in the Gulf of Panama?
July 24, 2020
Several years after the International Maritime Organization adopted Traffic Separation Schemes to reduce the risk of collision between vessels and migratory whales in the Gulf of Panama, scientists assessed whether these conservation management actions are being effective
Picky eater
Invasive lionfish may be a selective predator
July 30, 2020
By evaluating the diet choices of this species in a semi-natural environment, scientists could improve predictions of how it might affect newly invaded communities
