Book excerpt: Aerial surveys of marine mammals were performed as part of the Marine Mammal Monitoring on Navy Undersea Acoustic Ranges (3MR) program in three regions: a) Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), Barking Sands, Kauai (BSURE and BARSTUR ranges; Jul 12-Nov 17, 2002); b) Bahamas (Northwest Providence Channel and AUTEC range; Jan 4-12, 2003); and c) main Hawaiian Islands (Feb 21-Apr 5, 2003). The mission was to identify species and record positions and composition of all marine mammal pods sighted. These data were made available to co-investigators (Martin and Moretti) of the 3MR program in order to correlate the visual positions with acoustic localizations using Navy assets.

This book was released on 2024-05-24 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ocean is under increasing threat from the expansion of human activities. The combined impacts of these threats as well as the potential impacts of climate change and ocean acidification have placed thousands of species at risk of extinction, and have impaired the structure, function, productivity and resilience of marine ecosystems. Currently, some parts of the world's oceans are significantly impacted, yet are without any form of effective management. Only a small proportion of the oceans are within protected area systems. Globally, measures are being taken to increase protection and sustainable management, but application is uncoordinated and not always effective. In order to support effective policy action by countries and competent international and regional organizations, it is critical to build a sound understanding of the most ecologically and biologically important ocean areas that support healthy marine ecosystems so that the necessary steps to ensure the long-term function and resilience of these systems can be taken.

Download or read book Listening in the Ocean written by Whitlow W. L. Au and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-02-25 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title brings to light the discoveries and insights into the lives of many marine species made possible over the last decade by passive acoustic recorders (PAR). Pop-ups, ARF, HARP, EAR, Bprobe, C-POD Atag, and Dtag are the acronyms of some of the many PARs that have changed our understanding of how marine animals live and strive in the ocean. Various types of PARs are used by different investigators in different areas of the world. These recorders have accumulated copious amounts of very important data, unveiling previously unknown information about large marine animals. Temporal, seasonal and spatial distribution patterns have been uncovered for many marine species. There have been many discoveries, new understandings and insights into how these animals live in and utilize the ocean and the importance of acoustics in their lives. Listening Within the Ocean summarizes these important discoveries, providing both a valuable resource for researchers and enjoyable reading for non-professionals interested in marine life.
Download or read book Distribution and Abundance of Ondontocete Species in Hawaiian Waters written by Joseph R. Mobley (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The abundance and distribution of marine mammals around the main Hawaiian Islands are not well understood. Most of the documented sightings have come from survey-based or incidental observations made primarily in inshore waters (e.g., Shallenberger 1981; Balcomb 1987; Leatherwood et al. 1988; Tomich 1986), from stranding data (Nitta 1991) or from monitoring of fisheries (Nitta and Henderson 1993). The aerial surveys reported here were performed during a five-year period from 1993-98 as part of the Acoustic Thermometry of Ocean Climate Marine Mammal Research Program (ATOC MMRP). The purpose of the surveys was to assess the distribution and abundance of all marine mammals within approximately 25 nautical miles (46 km) of the major Hawaiian Islands, in order to assess possible effects of the ATOC transmissions (Note: the ATOC source was operational only during the 1998 field season). During 1993, 1995 and 1998, surveys were performed throughout waters adjoining the eight major Hawaiian Islands. Though sightings of all marine mammal species were recorded, the primary focus was on the two endangered cetacean species, humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) and sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) (ARPA 1995). This report covers distribution and abundance for the odontocete species seen only. Results for humpback whales will be summarized in a separate report, and the single sighting of a fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) has previously been reported (Mobley et al. 1996)"--Introduction (page 1).

This book was released on 2011-08-29 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With coverage on all the marine mammals of the world, authors Jefferson, Webber, and Pitman have created a user-friendly guide to identify marine mammals alive in nature (at sea or on the beach), dead specimens "in hand, and also to identify marine mammals based on features of the skull. This handy guide provides marine biologists and interested lay people with detailed descriptions of diagnostic features, illustrations of external appearance, beautiful photographs, dichotomous keys, and more. Full color illustrations and vivid photographs of every living marine mammal species are incorporated, as well as comprehendible maps showing a range of information. For readers who desire further consultation, authors have included a list of literature references at the end of each species account. For an enhanced understanding of habitation, this guide also includes recognizable geographic forms described separately with colorful paintings and photographs. All of these essential tools provided make Marine Mammals of the World the most detailed and authoritative guide available!* Contains superb photographs of every species of marine mammal for accurate identification * Authors' collective experience adds up to 80 years, and have seen nearly all of the species and distinctive geographic forms described in the guide * Provides the most detailed and anatomically accurate illustrations currently available * Special emphasis is placed on the identification of species in "problem groups, such as the beaked whales, long-beaked oceanic dolphin, and southern fur seals * Includes a detailed list of sources for more information at the back of the book.
Download or read book A Preliminary Aerial Survey of Marine Mammals for the Gulf of St Lawrence to Determine Their Distribution and Relative Abundance written by Richard Sears and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five (5) survey flights were carried out over the Gulf of St. Lawrence from January 21, 1982 to November 9, 1982. The purpose of the study was to determine marine mammal distribution and relative abundance throughout the gulf. This study was viewed as a preliminary assessment of marine mammal abundance and distribution in the gulf, to be followed by extensive ship and aerial surveys over a 3-year period. The aim of the survey was not only to locate marine mammal concentration but also discover the use of habitat for each species, with particular attention on feeding, reproduction nd migration.
