		<description><![CDATA[A new genetic analysis of Antarctic minke whales concludes that population of these smaller baleen whales have not increased as a result of the intensive hunting of other larger whales – countering arguments by advocates of commercial whaling who want to “cull” minke whales.
Antarctic minke whales are among the few species of baleen whales not [...]]]></description>

The marine park is to be  at Camden Sound, about 400km north of Broome, protecting its pristine marine environment for generations to come. 
Allowing for consultation, including a public [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scientists have recorded the first observations of how albatrosses feed alongside marine mammals at sea.
A miniature digital camera was attached to the backs of four black-browed albatrosses (Thalassarche melanophrys). Results are published online this week in the open-access journal PLoS ONE.
Albatrosses fly many hundreds of kilometers across the open ocean to find and feed upon [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you mention killer whales, the image of one ambushing a terrified seal often springs to mind.  But there are populations of killer whales who live exclusively on fish. And not on just any fish: they are very specialised in which fish they will eat. 
According to research published in Biology Letters, two populations [...]]]></description>
