Book excerpt: This is a collection of photos that I took during 2017 of the humpback whales that visited the Monterey Bay, on the central California coast. The majority of these magnificent mammals in this book have been identified, and the others are in the process of being added to catalog of the California Current Population of Humpback Whales. Each year, hundreds of whales return to the bay to feast on krill and anchovies.

Download or read book A Coast to Explore written by Miles O. Hayes and published by Pandion Books. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From wave-cut rock cliffs and sea caves to gravel beaches and coastal dunes, California’s coastline has enthralled visitors from around the world. A Coast to Explore describes the origins of these coastal features and unravels the wonderful mystery of how the birth of the San Andreas Fault system created what we see today. Miles O. Hayes and Jacqueline Michel have been mapping the coast of California since the 1980s as part of a larger initiative to protect coastlines around the world from hazardous oil spills. A Coast to Explore is the culmination of their work. Through a delightful narrative, it details the geological evolution of central California’s coast from Bodega Bay to Point Conception, including the effects of erosion during El Niños, the impacts of tsunamis, and the formation of spectacular raised marine terraces. Key ecological resources are described for each of the major subdivisions of the coast. Through richly illustrated diagrams, full-color photographs, and satellite images, A Coast to Explore takes readers on a fascinating journey of discovery so they can better understand why the Central California coast is so remarkable.

Download or read book About Monterey Humpbacks written by Esta Lee Albright and published by . This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here are Esta Lee Albright's articles, fact notes, and photos about the humpback whales of Monterey Bay. She has written "for the general public as a way to enhance their whale watching experiences." In her more than 20 years on whale watch cruises, she has been an enthusiastic writer, narrator, teacher, and coach for interpreters of whales and other marine life. Humpbacks seen off Monterey are a population not usually mentioned in books about whales. They come here to feed in spring, summer and fall. Their breeding grounds are off Central America and mainland Mexico. In many ways like all whales, the Monterey humpbacks also have individual characteristics that bring whale watchers to see them again and again. "What I love is to be 'way offshore listening to whales breathe.' " These tales of whales will seem to bring us right out to the humpbacks as seen on whale watches in Monterey Bay and offshore Central California.

Download or read book The Economics of Protected Marine Species Concepts in Research and Management written by Kristy Wallmo and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2016-10-21 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protected marine species have populations that are depleted, decreasing, or are at-risk of extinction or local extirpation. As of 2015 The International Union for the Conservation of Nature, a global environmental organization, lists approximately 737 marine species worldwide that are considered at risk of extinction. Many are provided legal protection through national laws requiring research and management measures aimed at recovering and maintaining the species at a sustainable population level. Integral to the policy decision process involving the management and recovery of marine species is the consideration of trade-offs between the economic and ecological costs and benefits of protection. This suggests that economics, at its core the study of trade-offs, has a significant role. In the U.S. a somewhat traditional use of economics in protected species research and management has involved cost minimization or cost-effectiveness analyses to help select or prioritize conservation actions. Economic research has also provided estimates of public non-market benefits of recovering species, which can be used in larger management frameworks such as ecosystem based management and coastal and marine spatial planning. Inherent in much of this research, however, are complex biological and ecological relationships in which varying degrees of scientific uncertainty are present. Addressing this type of uncertainty can affect the economic outcomes related to protected species. For example, recent work suggests that increasing scientific precision in biological sampling and models can greatly affect the magnitude of economic benefits to commercial fisheries, while other research suggests that public non-market benefits of species recovery are sensitive to uncertainty about baseline population estimates. Previous research has illustrated the importance of understanding the biological, ecological, and economic aspects of protected species management and recovery. In this research topic we synthesize current protected marine species economic research and expand the discussion on present and future challenges related to protected species economics. The series of manuscripts brings together an array of prominent researchers and advances our understanding of the ecological and economic aspects of managing and recovering protected marine species.

Download or read book The Breath of a Whale written by Leigh Calvez and published by Sasquatch Books. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ode to marine life and the natural world, from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Hidden Life of Owls This “intimate and spirited” essay collection “offers us the whale watch most of us can only dream of” as they reveal the elusive lives of whales in the Pacific Ocean—home to orcas, humpbacks, blue, gray, and sperm whales (Sy Montgomery, author of The Soul of an Octopus). Leigh Calvez has spent a dozen years researching, observing, and probing the lives of the giants of the deep. Here, she relates the stories of nature's most remarkable creatures, including the familial orcas in the waters of Washington State and British Columbia; the migratory humpbacks; the ancient, deep-diving blue whales, the largest animals on the planet. The lives of these whales are conveyed through the work of dedicated researchers who have spent decades tracking them along their secretive routes that extend for thousands of miles, gleaning their habits and sounds and distinguishing peculiarities. Calvez author invites the reader onto a small research catamaran maneuvering among 100-foot long blue whales off the coast of California; or to join the task of monitoring patterns of humpback whale movements at the ocean surface: tail throw, flipper slap, fluke up, or blow. To experience whales is breathtaking. To understand their lives deepens our connection with the natural world.
