Bernd Würsig Biography

Bornin Barsinghausen Germany Bernd Gerhard Würsig is an educator and researcher who works mainly on aspects of behavior and behavioral ecology of whales and dolphins. Much of his early work was done in close collaboration with his wife Melany Ann Würsig and they have published numerous manuscripts and two books together.
Most of Würsig’s research while focused generally on social sexual calf rearing and foraging strategies has been related to human use of the marine environment as well as tucuxi and boto dolphins of the Amazon and the now believed to be extinct baiji of the Yangtze River. He may be the only researcher to have worked with both the baiji and the presently highly endangered vaquita or Gulf of California harbor porpoise of the northern Gulf of California Mexico.
Besides working with river dolphins in Peru and China Würsig has worked with oceanic whales in Argentina far east Russia and the Arctic; and a host of delphinids from the Bahamas to Patagonia Argentina from north-central California to Hong Kong and South Island New Zealand. Much of his work has been collaborative and he has published with students and colleagues on issues of multi-species interactions among pinnipeds and cetaceans marine mammals and marine birds and noise pollution and mitigative effects.
