    Extractions: Acoustic Thermometry of Ocean Climate: ATOC's Marine Mammal Research Program The Marine Mammal Research Program (MMRP), led by Dr. Christopher W. Clark of Cornell University's Bioacoustic Research Program, is designed to provide information on hearing capabilities of marine mammals and sea turtles, response of marine mammals and other marine organisms to man-made sounds, (both from the ATOC source and from other sources, such as shipping noise), and to provide information needed to direct policies for long-term protection and conservation of marine species. The MMRP recognizes that the available data on the effects of low frequency sound on marine mammals are sparse and has designed a research protocol to broaden the information base. Dr. Clark leads the research in Hawaii which began with small-scale acoustic playback experiments off the Kona-Kohala coast in late January through March, 1996. Subsequent Kauai experiments using the ATOC source will not begin until after the completion of the playback experiments . While the Kona-Kohala experiments are designed to focus primarily on behavior of humpback whales, the Kauai experiments will investigate the distribution as well as behavior of humpbacks.

    Extractions: North Atlantic right whales are staring extinction in the eye. For hundreds of years, these large, slow moving creatures were the preferred target of whalers, but even now, with the commercial whaling ban firmly in place, right whale populations continue to shrink. Too many have run afoul of fishing lines or been struck by boats. And even though the U.S. Endangered Species Act requires the government to regulate ships and fishing to protect the right whale, little has been done. more IFAW Canada's 2003-2004 Seal Hunt: Huge Death Count, Massive Resistance Canada's seal hunt was scheduled to end May 15, depending on whether hunters had reached the annual quota of 350,000. Whenever Canada decides to stop the bloodshed, the tally from this year's hunt will be staggering, not only in terms of seals killed but also in the potential number of regulatory violations. more IFAW IFAW's Canadian Seal Campaigner Dares to Give the Public a View to a Kill Originally from Newfoundland, Rebecca Aldworth has risked life and limb to expose the cruelty of the Canadian seal hunt. This year, she witnessed events that chilled even her veteran eyes: seals apparently skinned alive, uncooperative enforcement officers, even observers threatened by a sealer boat.

59. Marine Mammals In Captivity
    marine mammals are captured from the wild for public display in aquaria and marine parks. The nature of this captivity dooms marine mammals to misery.  
    http://www.hsus.org/ace/11727
    
    Extractions: The public display industry captures many species of marine mammals from the wild, especially whales and dolphins. The Humane Society of the United States believes that these animals should not be taken from the wild simply to entertain and amuse people, for a number of reasons. Life in the Wild The very nature of these animals makes them uniquely unsuited to confinement. In the wild, whales and dolphins live in large groups (called pods), often in tight family units. Family bonds often last many years. In some species, they last for a lifetime. Whales and dolphins travel long distances each day, sometimes swimming in a straight line for a hundred miles, other times remaining in a certain area for hours or days, moving several miles along a coastline and then turning to retrace their path. These marine mammals can dive up to several hundred meters and stay underwater for up to half an hour. They spend only 10 to 20% of their time at the surface. Life in Captivity This unnatural situation can cause skin problems. In addition, in captive killer whales (orcas), it is the probable cause of dorsal fin collapse, as without the support of water, gravity pulls these tall appendages over as the whale matures. Collapsed fins are experienced by all captive male orcas and many captive female orcas, who were either captured as juveniles or who were born in captivity. However, they are observed in only about 1% of orcas in the wild.
