Little blue penguin (eudyptula minor) distribution

Kernel density maps of little blue penguins in the Bay of Islands

The TriOceans team drives pre-planned transect lines to cover Far North waters evenly whilst searching for target species. This allows for reliable population and distribution estimates. Amongst those recorded are the little blue penguin, allowing us to build an 8 year database of their daytime movements. 

Little blue penguins are found throughout Far North waters, yet they remain largely unstudied
