NRDC: Protecting Whales From Dangerous Sonar
BioGems Saving endangered Wild Places ACT NOW! Protect whales and other marine life from dangerous Navy sonar. Photo of humpback whale
http://www.nrdc.org/wildlife/marine/nlfa.asp

Extractions: Photo: Bill Lawton / NMML Even as evidence of its threat to marine life continues to mount, the use of deadly military sonar in the world's oceans is spreading. An NRDC-led coalition of wildlife advocates succeeded in restricting the U.S. Navy's use of a powerful active sonar system known as SURTASS LFA in 2003. But the fight is hardly over; other nations are developing LFA-type systems of their own, and sonar testing in coastal waters using the same mid-frequency systems that have been implicated in numerous strandings of whales is actually on the rise, putting more and more marine mammals and fisheries at risk. And the Bush administration is now appealing the legal victory that compelled the Navy into compromise. In response, NRDC and its partners have redoubled our campaign, both at home and abroad, to control the spread of this harmful technology. Internationally, NRDC has begun to raise awareness of the problem of ocean noise. NRDC and several other international conservation groups together representing millions of members are pressuring international institutions to reduce sonar's harm to whales and other marine life, and getting results:

http://www.nrdc.org/wildlife/fish/acaleg.asp

Extractions: Introduction Why Marine Life Reserves? Marine Life Protection Act Scientists believe that one important way to preserve biodiversity in the seas is to create networks of marine reserves where fishing is not allowed and pollution is minimized. Proposals for such a network in southern California's Channel Islands are now under discussion. These islands combine majestic underwater settings with an extraordinary diversity of marine life, nurtured by the complex intermingling of warm Baja currents with cold currents from Alaska. NRDC has helped persuade the California Fish and Game Commission to start a collaborative process to designate zones in the waters surrounding the islands where no fishing will be permitted. In the 1998 legislative session, NRDC helped usher through the legislature a bill to set up a network of marine protected areas, only to see it vetoed by former Governor Wilson. In the 1999 session, Assemblyman Kevin Shelley reintroduced the bill in the California Assembly as A.B. 993, the Marine Life Protection Act. The bill passed both the Assembly and the Senate with bipartisan support. With a new administration in California, a legislature lead by environmental supporters, and widespread support for efforts to ensure that fish and marine animals thrive, NRDC is optimistic that the Marine Life Protection Act has a good chance of becoming law in 1999. Nonetheless, as former Governor Wilson's veto demonstrates, the bill's passage into law is not guaranteed, so we continue our efforts to mobilize strong citizen support for marine reserves and for this legislation.

We can therefore expect these assaults to be renewed with the 105th Congress. We are keeping these pages online as a reminder of what was attempted, and who led the charge.

Extractions: That Pursues a Sublime Goal Marine Life and the Sea , written by David H. Milne, is an exciting new book. Of the three marine-biology texts that I have reviewed for The Textbook Letter , this is the best one for use in high-school honors courses or advanced-placement courses. [Editor's note: The other marine-biology texts that Gary C. Williams has appraised in TTL are Mosby's Marine Biology (see our issue for March-April 1992) and Wm. C. Brown's An Introduction to the Biology of Marine Life (see the issue for September-October 1992).] In his preface Milne announces two objectives, the first of which is to enable readers to understand the probable responses of the oceans and marine organisms to human activities. The second is "to convey an appreciation for the intrinsic beauty and value of marine plants and animals, apart from their roles as unpaid crew members who maintain humanity's life-support machinery in the hold of spaceship Earth." This is a sublime goal, and it helps to imbue Marine Life and the Sea with a refreshing tone of originality.
Longline Fishing Threatens Sea Birds And Other Marine Life
Longline Fishing Threatens Sea Birds and Other marine life (TEDs) has mitigated the damage done to populations of threatened and endangered sea turtles.
http://www.hsus.org/wildlife/issues_facing_wildlife/longline_fishing_threatens_s

Extractions: USDA Regulatory Fish Encyclopedia Longline fishing is a technique used to catch fish in open waters, including those who live near the sea floor. A longline includes a main fishing line up to 100 kilometers in length, with secondary lines branching off it, each set with hundreds or thousands of barbed, baited hooks. This technique is used in international waters, as well as waters controlled by the United States, South America, Australia, New Zealand, and southern African countries, and targets fish species such as tuna, swordfish, and Patagonian toothfish. Turtles Longlining results in the incidental capture and death ("bycatch") of many marine animals, including seabirds such as albatross and petrels, sea turtles, sharks and other fish, and seals. And unlike shrimp trawling, which is still the greatest threat to turtles in U.S. waters, the longlining industry isn't using devices and techniques to try to avoid bycatch. In the shrimping industry, the introduction of Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) has mitigated the damage done to populations of threatened and endangered sea turtles. In some areas, longlining may be emerging as a more severe threat to sea turtles than shrimping.

http://www.hsus.org/marine_mammals/marine_mammals_news/accord_is_sweet_music_for

Extractions: After years of sometimes bitter legal and public relations wranglings, the U.S. Navy and a group of animal and environmental organizations recently hammered out an agreement that will prevent harm to untold numbers of marine animals. The two sides, parties to an August 2002 lawsuit over the Navy's proposed use of Low Frequency Active (LFA) sonar in the world's oceans, agreed October 13 to drastically limit the areas where the surveillance technology can be deployed. The parties negotiated an agreement whereby the Navy will scale back deployment from 75% of the world's oceans to approximately 1% of that area. The timing of the announcement couldn't have been better. Only days earlier, the scientific journal, Nature , published a report finding that mid-frequency active sonar may kill certain marine mammal species by giving them decompression sickness or "the bends." The report was based on an examination of 10 of 14 whales, mostly beaked, who were recently stranded in the Canary Islands after the Spanish navy conducted nearby maneuvers involving mid-frequency sonar.

Bradford, R.G. Doubleday, W.G. ... Levings, C.D. Description While the number of marine extinctions is low, managing extinction risk is a problem. Marine life appears safe and not subject to the extinction visible to wildlife on land. However, as this paper points out, while the number of marine extinctions is low, managing extinction risk is a problem. There is a significant lack of knowledge about ocean environments and this ignorance may lead to underestimation of the actual number of extinctions. This paper reviews the current knowledge of extinctions and near-extinctions in the marine environment and proposes a method to better identify those marine species at risk and in need of protection efforts. Known extinctions or near-extinctions of marine life include: three species of marine mammals; four species of clams and snails; two species of skates and rays; and several species of abalone ? a relative of clams off the West Coast. Recent studies have considered numerous marine species to be at risk of extinction. Human-induced habitat degradation and fishing practices are known causes for extinction. Marine life with certain biological traits, such as slow-growth, low reproductive ability, and low mobility, are more prone to extinction.

http://www.api4animals.org/57.htm

Extractions: Public concern for the killing of baby harp seals for their fur and the deaths of millions of dolphins in commercial tuna nets led Congress to pass the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) in 1972. The MMPA gave the Department of the Interior responsibility for manatees, dugongs, polar bears, walruses, and sea otters. Within the Department, the Fish and Wildlife Service is responsible for managing these marine mammals and for enforcing the moratorium on taking and importing marine mammals, marine mammal parts, and derivatives. The management and conservation of whales, dolphins, sea lions, fur seals, elephant seals, monk seals, true northern seals, and southern fur seals are the responsibility of the National Marine Fisheries Service, a division of the Department of Commerce. Whales and dolphins are also protected under the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) with minimal standards. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is responsible for administration and enforcement of the AWA. Unfortunately, because of exceptions, loopholes, and some weakening amendments to the MMPA and AWA, we must continually advocate on behalf of marine mammals. Wild Marine Mammals and Human Interactions While API encourages people to enjoy viewing marine mammals in their natural habitat instead of in captivity languishing in barren tanks, we also encourage people to keep a respectful distance and to avoid feeding or otherwise altering the natural behavior of the animals. Observing wildlife in a non-intrusive way is safer for both humans and animals.

http://longwood.cs.ucf.edu/~MidLink/marine.life.html

Extractions: By Diana Wilson and Brandy Hammett, Grade 6 We both chose this topic because we want to be marine biologists. We love to see and learn about our future careers. We wanted a little bit of a head start on our careers, and we thought it would be fun to do a project on Florida since we live here. Our project will deal with marinelife, what can happen if we do not take care of it, and what we can do to help the endangered marinelife. Florida Manatees eat water plants, sea grass, and algee. They are active both day and night. They have a social life and they live in small groups. The manatee is an endangered species. That means that the manatee might not be here five, or maybe even one year from now. They are poached and they swim slowly and so close to the surface that they are hit by motor boat propellers. You can Adopt a Manatee! The harbor porpoise is found from Newfoundland, Canada, to Florida. There are thought to be three populations: Newfoundland, Gulf of St. Lawrence, and Gulf of Maine-Bay of Fundy. However, there is not enough evidence prove this. Summer aggregations occur in the Gulf of Maine, Gulf of St. Lawrece, and east coast of Newfoundland. The winter distribution us poorly understood. Harbor seals, year-round residents of Maine and eastern Canada, are seasonal-winter residents in southern New England . Harbor seal numbers have apparently increased in recent years, due primarily to protection under the MMPA . Recent surveys suggest that 26,000 harbor seals occur in the Gulf of Maine, and they are increasing. But catch levels are relatively low, and major concerns are competition with fisheries and periodic disease outbreaks.

Extractions: During our bird show, you wil be able to see our parrots perform an entertaining variety of behaviors such as birds competing in a ring race, skating, riding a scooter, and much more. The show also features a modeling session where the birds display some common features of parrots. Our show birds are given breaks so you may see different birds performing on different days. Marine Life is home to a large collection of exotic bird species. Most are used in our bird shows, and have been taught a variety of behaviors including verbal skills. Because the birds are displayed in open exhibits, it is important to follow some rules when visiting the exhibit. The birds at Marine Life are Parrots. These birds all have strong beaks used for cracking nuts and seeds, they have zygodactyl feet (two toes in front and two in back) for grasping branches and assisting in eating. Macaws and parrots are brightly colored and do not have crests; Cockatoos all have crests and are white, pink, grey or black. Please refer to the educational panels located at the exhibit for specific information on each bird. What Do They Eat? All of the birds receive a balanced diet similar to what they would naturally eat in the wild. They are given fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, as well as store bought pellets that contain needed nutrients.

Endangered Species Act (ESA) : Provides broad protection for species of fish, wildlife, and plants that are listed as threatened or endangered in the U.S. or internationally. Provisions are made for listing species, as well as for recovery plans and the designation of critical habitat for listed species. ESA is also the enabling legislation for CITES. The act is primarily the responsibility of USFWS. Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) : Protects marine mammals from being harassed, injured, or killed within U.S. waters or by U.S. citizens in international waters. The Act works in conjunction with ESA. Established in 1972, the Act has been amended several times. NOAA Fisheries and the USFWS share responsibilities for implementing the MMPA. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA): Within NOAA there are five major line offices. Among them are NOAA Research, National Weather Service, and the NMFS (described above). In addition there are eight program offices responsible for such operations as coast surveys, coastal science, coast and ocean resource management, geodetic surveys, and the National Marine Sanctuary Program.
Guide To California's Marine Life Management Act ~ Introduction
Several species of marine life have been listed under the endangered Species Act of 1973. The endangered Species Act prohibits taking an endangered
http://www.fgc.ca.gov/mlma/introduction.html

Extractions: CALIFORNIA'S MARINE LIFE is both rich and diverse. Thousands of species of marine plants, crustaceans, mollusks, other invertebrates, fish, seabirds, and marine mammals use an astonishing diversity of habitats. Some species, such as squid, may swarm by the millions in relatively small areas near the coast. Other species, such as blue whales, come in small numbers from distant waters to feed on blooms of krill. Marine mammals, seabirds, and fish migrate from one part of the California coast to another or across the boundaries between Mexico and California. Some fish and shellfish spend their entire lives in a particular area, though they may have begun life as a tiny egg that currents carried a great distance from where it was spawned. The Marine Life Management Act or MLMA seeks to assure that the way we use this richness and diversity of life is sustainable. The MLMA recognizes that the way we fish for one species, for instance, may affect other species or their habitats in ways that harm marine ecosystems. The MLMA also recognizes that research and an understanding of marine life are essential to making good decisions about our stewardship of marine living resources. As a result, the MLMA promotes the use of scientific information about the lives and needs of marine plants and animals. There are other aspects of the human side of the conservation equation. For instance, the MLMA recognizes that when people become involved in management decisions, their stake in the stewardship of marine life grows. Fisheries managers also need to understand the effects of management measures both on the fish themselves and on the users. Failure to examine how fishermen will respond to specific management measures often has undermined effective management. Finally, the effectiveness of management measures depends greatly upon public confidence in the way in which decisions are made and put into practice. Critical to building and maintaining this confidence is an openness in decision making that goes beyond traditional, formal processes.
