Surviving professional puberty in marine mammalogy: Things Mom and Dad didn't tell you. by John E. Reynolds III - Eckerd College and U.S. Marine Mammal Commission Reference Books Reference Articles Information Sheets and Packets Sea Grant Programs ... Teaching Materials What is marine mammal science? There are about 100 species of aquatic or marine mammals that depend on fresh water or the ocean for part or all of their life. These species include pinnipeds, which are seals, sea lions, fur seals and walrus; cetaceans, which are baleen and toothed whales, ocean and river dolphins, and porpoises; sirenians, which are manatees and dugongs; and some carnivores, such as sea otters and polar bears. Marine mammal scientists try to understand these animals' genetic, systematic, and evolutionary relationships; population structure; community dynamics; anatomy and physiology; behavior and sensory abilities; parasites and diseases; geographic and microhabitat distributions; ecology; management; and conservation.

Extractions: This web site of the Bering Sea, one of the world's major fisheries, follows an explosion of interest in Northern Hemisphere climate study. Scientists here recognize a symmetric problem: climate change impacts ecosystems, and ecosystems serve as indicators for climate change. This site describes ecological and climatic indices for the Bering Sea which will serve as measures of climate and ecosystem status: weather, oceanographic and climate data, sea ice data, and fisheries and other biological data. This transitional website contains the main set of time series which will form the basis of a small set of Bering climate/ecosystem indices.

Extractions: PRO-KYOTO LIBERALS MAINTAIN CONTROL IN CANADA ESA ISSUES PEER REVIEW STATEMENT The Ecological Society of America, together with a dozen other scientific organizations, on July 15 issued a statement on scientific peer review. Representing over a quarter million scientists, the groups statement lays out the basics of what constitutes appropriate scientific peer review of in-house agency science and the body of science underlying management decisions. We believe a clear statement from a large portion of the scientific community on scientific peer review will be helpful to policy makers, said Ecological Society of America President William Schlesinger. Our statement both supports the concept of peer review and intends to inform policy makers about how it is best applied, explained Schlesinger. While scientific peer review is an important tool for decision makers, a poorly designed process can do more harm than good. The American College of Preventive Medicine, American Fisheries Society, American Institute of Biological Sciences, American Public Health Association, American Society of Agronomy, American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, Association of Teachers of Preventive Medicine, Crop Science Society of America, Ecological Society of America (ESA), Estuarine Research Federation, Institute of Food Technologies, Society for Conservation Biology, and Soil Science Society of America, all endorsed the statement, which was developed by ESA.

Extractions: terms Serving Biology and Society Organization About AIBS: Who We Are Media Inquiries Organization Membership Individual Membership ... Classifieds July 15 2004 Peer review is an integral component of scientific research and publishing. It allows the scientific community to maintain quality control of research through the review of research proposals, journal manuscripts and other reports. Academic peer review, although far from perfect, is the best tool scientists have to ensure high standards for their professional work. However, it is critical that scientific peer review programs be carefully designed to maintain objectivity, quality and thoroughness. While scientific peer review is an important tool for decision makers, a poorly designed process can do more harm than good. It is for this reason that we endorse the following list of important considerations for government scientific peer review of agency-produced science and the body of science underlying management decisions. The first priority in choosing reviewers should be to engage the most competent scientists.

Extractions: MRA, NOAA, and Naval Academy Combine Efforts As part of a USNA-NOAA Earth Day "Dive-In" celebration sponsored by the Magothy River Association, 13 Midshipmen divers from the Oceanography Club surveyed an oyster bed at Rock Point in the Magothy River. See complete story below. Photos courtesy of Robert E. Hendry, Anne Arundel Community College. The Rock Point survey completes the Oyster Monitoring Workshop and open water/dark water training that was started in January. Daniel J. Basta, Director, National Marine Sanctuaries Program, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), conducted the training and survey. The survey was conducted using an array of eight 45 meter transects lines radiating out from a center reference point. Using the techniques learned during the pool exercise at Rick Hover Hall last January, each dive pair moved down the transect line in the near zero visibility of the Magothy River from the outer end of the transect toward the center counting all oysters within one meter of the transect on either side, and then recorded bottom composition information every three meters. It was observed that the size of the oysters ranged from 108 mm to 61 mm indicating that more than one oyster growth class exists at Rock Point.
