Echosounder Effects on Beaked Whales in the Tongue of the Ocean, Bahamas
(2011-05-02)Increasing human activity in the ocean has lead to an increase in anthropogenic noise in the ocean. Beaked whales are deep-diving odontocetes known to feed in the tongue of the ocean, Bahamas. Recent studies show ... -
Evaluation of Thermal Characteristics of Secondary Warm-Water Sites for the Florida Manatee
(2010-04-30)While the threat of collisions with recreational watercraft continues to be a serious concern for the Florida manatee population, a growing threat in the future is likely to be the loss of available winter habitat. Manatees ... -
Practical Approaches for Reducing Ocean Noise: Opportunities using systemic evidence synthesis, multi-sectoral dialogues, and ‘Smart Shipping’ technology to protect marine mammals from anthropogenically produced sound
(2022-04-22)This Master’s Project presents data-informed strategies to minimize anthropogenic ocean noise. With the blue acceleration—the driver of human development through the use of ocean resources—we can mitigate impacts of ocean ... -
The cost of locomotion in North Atlantic right whales (<italic>Eubalaena glacialis</italic>)
(2010)Locomotion in any environment requires the use of energy to overcome the physicalforces inherent in the environment. Most large marine vertebrates have evolvedstreamlined fusiform body shapes to minimize the resistive force ...
