Guest Speaker: Howard Goldstein
Office of Protected Resources, NMFS

Please join Howie Goldstein for a presentation on his fieldwork experiences during National Science Foundation-funded worldwide marine geophysical research cruises, National Marine Fisheries Service ecosystem surveys, and the 2008 "Behavioral Response Study (BRS) of Deep Diving Odontocetes" research cruise that took place in the Tongue of the Ocean, Bahamas .  Howie has spent over 5 years at sea participating as a marine mammal observer on over 25 scientific projects and will primarily discuss the BRS research cruise, which consisted of a 7-week controlled exposure experiment onboard the R/V Roger Revelle.  The purpose of the ongoing BRS research study, which began in 2007, is to investigate the responses of whales to Navy-simulated mid-frequency sonar and other sounds via suction cup tagging and acoustic playbacks.  Howie will present a “day in the life” look at living at sea and how research was carried out from this project and other cruises."
