Sarah Trabue

Sarah is an Assistant Marine Conservation Scientist with the Ocean Giants Program at WCS. She works on analyzing archived acoustic recordings from the WCS, WHOI and Equinor PAM program in the Equinor Wind Lease 0512 area, habitat use and behavior of cetaceans in the NYB, population health of small cetaceans in the NYB, and managing the WCS bottlenose dolphin catalog. Her main research interests include using photo-identification to investigate population dynamics in cetaceans and using bioacoustics to understand cetacean distribution and behavior in relation to the surrounding environment. Sarah completed her M.A. in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology at Columbia University in the City of New York, assessing environmental influences on foraging activity and population health in bottlenose dolphins in the NYB. She has authored or co-authored several peer-reviewed journal articles, conference presentations, and technical reports.
