Learn more about whale tails with Sean Todd from College of the Atlantic and Allied Whale.

At COA, Sean serves as part of the marine science faculty. As a researcher, Sean is involved in several projects as a principal investigator. He is also the director of the Marine Mammal Stranding Response Program at College of the Atlantic.

Much of Sean’s background is in the field of fishery-marine mammal interactions. He spent 10 years in Newfoundland as part of the Whale Disentanglement team, a group that releases large entangled whales from fishing gear. In Maine he is trained as part of a first response team that performs a similar function, coordinated by the Center for Coastal Studies, and regularly consults with the federal and state governments on disentanglement activities. He has worked on several projects that successfully designed alarms for fishing gear that reduce marine mammal entanglements.
