Kiku Julia Loomis
The focus of my work is the behaviors and ecology of of marine mammals. My work bridges the gap between academic study and management policy, providing the insights needed to protect our ocean's most iconic species.
My expertise spans from cetacean biology and sustainable seafood, to public policy. I offer specialized consulting to organizations seeking to use data and apply scientific methodology to explore ecological questions, and inform the management of marine environments.
