Book excerpt: "The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to issue an amendment to scientific research Permit No. 781-1824-01, pursuant to the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as amended (MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) and the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The proposed amendment would authorize satellite tagging of Southern resident killer whales and an increase in the number of suction cup tags deployed on this species. This supplemental EA evaluates the potential impacts to the human environment from issuance of the proposed permit amendment"--Abstract.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "NMFS proposes to issue an amendment to Permit No. 14097-04 to authorize a 12-month extension of the permit duration and allow researchers to biopsy sample humpback whales in the Southern Ocean more than once annually where sampling is already authorized. The purpose of the research is to determine the migration routes and movement patterns, habitat use, diving behavior, vocal patterns, and acoustic environment of cetaceans worldwide. Impacts from these activities would be short-term and minimal to individual animals and negligible to the species. The amended permit would be valid through June 30, 2016"--Cover letter summary.

Book excerpt: "Location: Mid-Atlantic bight from Cape Hatteras north to Long Island from coastal waters to the shelf break. Abstract: NMFS proposes to issue a scientific research permit to Ronald Smolowitz, Coonamessett Farm Foundation, Inc., 277 Hatchville Road, East Falmouth, MA 02536 under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and the regulations governing the taking, importing, and exporting of endangered and threatened species (50 CFR Parts 222-226). The objectives of the permitted activity would be to evaluate modifications to scallop dredge gear that may reduce the probability of injurious sea turtle interactions with gear (Project 1); to study loggerhead sea turtle behavior; and collect biological and animal health information to help assess the loggerhead population and impact of anthropogenic activities on it (Project 2)."--Page [1].

This book was released on 2013 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A draft Environmental Assessment (EA) to analyze impacts of NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) issuance of an Endangered Species Act section 10(a)(1)(A) research/enhancement permit for the Nason Creek spring Chinook Salmon hatchery program was released by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for a 15-day public comment period on May 30, 2013 (78 FR 32378). Since the draft EA was published, the applicants have requested that NMFS extend the permit duration from 10 years to 13 years to remain consistent with the permit duration for other hatchery programs in the Wenatchee River Basin. NMFS has determined that this change does not affect any of the analysis in the draft EA or warrant further public review. Changes to the text of the draft EA to reflect the new permit duration are indicated in redline/strikeout format. Minor editorial changes to the draft EA are not shown in redline/strikeout format"--Executive summary (page vii).

Download or read book Marine Mammals and Noise written by W. John Richardson and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many marine mammals communicate by emitting sounds that pass through water. Such sounds can be received across great distances and can influence the behavior of these undersea creatures. In the past few decades, the oceans have become increasingly noisy, as underwater sounds from propellers, sonars, and other human activities make it difficult for marine mammals to communicate. This book discusses, among many other topics, just how well marine mammals hear, how noisy the oceans have become, and what effects these new sounds have on marine mammals. The baseline of ambient noise, the sounds produced by machines and mammals, the sensitivity of marine mammal hearing, and the reactions of marine mammals are also examined. An essential addition to any marine biologist's library, Marine Mammals and Noise will be especially appealing to marine mammalogists, researchers, policy makers and regulators, and marine biologists and oceanographers using sound in their research.
Download or read book Transients written by John K.B. Ford and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on transient killer whales. Enigmatic and elusive, these mammal-hunting whales are difficult animals to study. They travel in small groups, often moving unpredictably, which makes them less conspicuous than the larger resident pods. For these and other reasons, our understanding of the life history and ecology of transient killer whales has lagged behind that of residents. Transients contains the latest information on the natural history of transient killer whales, including their feeding habits, social lives, and distribution patterns. The catalogue section contains photographs of and notes on over 200 individual whales. Numerous sidebars contain interesting observations on encounters with transients as well as information on how and where to best watch them.

Download or read book Global Change in Marine Systems written by Patrice Guillotreau and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Change in Marine Systems analyses and appraises societal and governing responses to change affecting marine social and ecological systems around the world. Acknowledging the stakes – local societies that depend on marine systems for food, livelihoods and wellbeing can suffer great hardship – this book highlights and explains similarities and distinctions between successful and unsuccessful responses. The book presents an analytical framework (‘I-ADApT’) that enables decision-makers to consider possible responses to global change based on experiences elsewhere. Here an international group of researchers from the natural and social sciences apply the ‘I-ADApT’ framework to twenty enlightening case studies, covering a wide range of marine systems challenged by critical global change issues around the world. The innovative research presented here guides marine system researchers, policymakers, decision-makers and practitioners in responding to global change in a timely and appropriate manner. It will appeal to students and researchers interested in environmental studies, natural resources, marine resources, environmental sociology, sustainability, and climate change.

This book was released on 2011-03-23 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The bones recovered from the middens of the northeastern Pacific shorelines have important stories to tell biologists, marine mammalogists, and those concerned with marine conservation. This volume unearths a wealth of information about the historical ecology of seals, sea lions, and sea otters in the North Pacific that spans thousands of years. It provides fascinating insights into how the world once looked, and how it may one day look again as seals, sea lions, and sea otters reclaim and recolonize their former haunts.”—Andrew Trites, Director, Marine Mammal Research Unit, University of British Columbia “Braje and Rick have assembled a compelling set of case studies on the long-term and complex interactions between people, marine mammals, and environments in the Northeast Pacific. The promise of zooarchaeology as historical science is on full display, as researchers use geochemistry, aDNA, morphometrics, and traditional analytic methods to address questions of utmost importance to the long-term health of coastal ecosystems. If this book doesn't convince conservation biology about the need to take the long view of animal histories and ecosystems into account in developing conservation management plans, I'm not sure what will.”—Virginia L. Butler, Department of Anthropology, Portland State University
