Using movement ecology to inform spatial management and conservation of 
marine megafauna in the mid-Atlantic

Abstract - Ecosystem-based management of mobile marine megafauna 
requires critical behavioral information (e.g. seasonal movements, 
patterns of regional habitat use, location of foraging /breeding 
grounds). Yet, this is a challenging task, as many species range over 
vast or remote areas and spend all or most of their lives inaccessible 
to direct observation. In the Azores - a top setting to study the 
behaviors of diverse oceanic taxa - we have been combining observations 
with various biotelemetric techniques to study large fishes (teleosts 
and elasmobranchs) in their natural environment, from their fine-scale 
use of mid-Atlantic ridge seamounts to the broader movements and 
life-history strategies when these animals embark on annual migrations. 
I’ll present and discuss a summary of these results.
