Compliance with vessel speed restrictions
by Greg Silber - NOAA Federal 07 Jun '14

07 Jun '14

The paper "Silber G.K., Adams J.D., Fonnesbeck C.J. 2014. Compliance with vessel speed restrictions to protect North Atlantic right whales. PeerJ 2: e399 http://dx.doi.org/10.7717/peerj.399" was recently published. <http://dx.doi.org/10.7717/peerj.399> *Abstract*: Environmental regulations can only be effective if they are adhered to, but the motivations for regulatory compliance are not always clear. We assessed vessel operator compliance with a December 2008 regulation aimed at reducing collisions with the endangered North Atlantic right whale that requires vessels 65 feet or greater in length to travel at speeds of 10 knots or less at prescribed times and locations along the U.S. eastern seaboard. Extensive outreach efforts were undertaken to notify affected entities both before and after the regulation went into effect. Vessel speeds of 201,862 trips made between November 2008 and August 2013 by 8,009 individual vessels were quantified remotely, constituting a nearly complete census of transits made by the regulated population. Of these, 437 vessels (or their parent companies), some of whom had been observed exceeding the speed limit, were contacted through one of four non-punitive information programs. A fraction (*n* = 26 vessels/companies) received citations and fines. Despite the efforts to inform mariners, initial compliance was low (<5% of the trips were completely <10 knots) but improved in the latter part of the study. Each notification/enforcement program improved compliance to some degree and some may have influenced compliance across the entire regulated community. Citations/fines appeared to have the greatest influence on improving compliance in notified vessels/companies, followed in order of effectiveness by enforcement-office information letters, monthly summaries of vessel operations, and direct at-sea radio contact. Trips by cargo vessels exhibited the greatest change in behavior followed by tanker and passenger vessels. These results have application to other regulatory systems, especially where remote monitoring is feasible, and any setting where regulatory compliance is sought.

Passing of Alan Baldridge
by Richard L. Ternullo 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

Alan Baldridge passed away at 2 am on May 28, 2014. He had been struggling with a variety of disabling ailments before pneumonia claimed him. Alan and Sheila (Elizabeth) Baldridge, his wife of more than 50 years, were best known as librarians at Hopkins Marine Station and California State Universities� Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, respectively. They both aided and guided hundreds, if not thousands, of Master�s, PhD, and post-docs through throughout their extended educations. Alan was with Hopkins Marine Station as librarian and taught marine ornithology, from 1966 until his retirement in 1993. Sheila was at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories from 1978 to 1994. There was a brief interruption of five years as they worked at Florida State University in the early 70�s. Alan was a Charter Member of the Society for Marine Mammalogy, founding member of the Monterey Bay Chapter, American Cetacean Society, helped establish the Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve, Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, and the Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District. Alan also served on the boards of the Monterey Peninsula Audubon Society, Friends of the Sea Otter, Friends of Hopkins Marine Station and was a founding board member and trustee of the Earl and Ethel Myers Oceanographic and Marine Biology Trust. Alan and Sheila were recognized for their lifetime commitment to marine conservation during the 7th International Conference of the American Cetacean Society. They were presented with a bronze sculpture by Randy Puckett, a longtime friend of the Baldridges. An anonymous donor also gave $10,000 to establish a graduate research grant in their name. In 2013, the Honorable Sam Farr entered Alan�s and Sheila�s names in the Congressional Record of the 113th Congress (2013-2014) for their contributions to the community and conservation efforts. Alan had several impacts on California birding and marine birds in general. As a regular leader of many Monterey Bay pelagic trips, countless trips aboard the M/V Tage, operated by Hopkins and completed many of the earliest transects of Monterey bay recording bird and marine mammals, probably the most extensive at the time since Rollo Beck. Alan was a member of the editorial board of the first three volumes of California Birds (thereafter called Western Birds). Alan also was also Regional Editor for the Audubon Field Notes/American Birds (Northern California). He also served as seabird editor for the Middle Pacific Coast Region for 12 seasons Alan co-authored with John Davis The Bird Year A Book for Birders with Special Reference to the Monterey Area, co-authored with David G. Gordon Gray Whales. The Alan Baldridge Endowed Book Fund (1993) was established to purchase materials related to the local history of Monterey County, marine birds, and marine mammals. Alan was also instrumental in acquiring funds for the construction of the Harold A. Miller Library of Marine Biology. Alan also published the first reference on a Killer Whale/Gray Whale predation event, along with publications on Risso�s Dolphin, Sea Otters, and Brown Pelicans. He also advised on Leatherback Sea Turtles, Bottlenose Dolphin, and many other research questions posed by graduate students. Alan and Sheila's travels took them from East Africa, Eastern Arctic Canada, Bering Sea, Russia, Sea Of Cortez, Gulf of Mexico, and Alaska. There are plans for a memorial sometime in late July and a future ash scattering on his beloved Monterey Bay. This crater in our lives that Alan�s death represents, will heal over when we realize our lives were touched by a genuine scientific hero and a plain good person. Keep a thought for Sheila and his brother Ken. If further news of any changes in the memorial schedule occurs, I will post them on American Cetacean Society, Monterey Bay FaceBook page. You may contact me directly. Richard L. Ternullo rtenullo(a)aol.com

New Publication: POPs in Pacific Island Stranded Cetaceans
by Melannie Bachman - NOAA Affiliate 04 Jun '14

04 Jun '14

Dear Colleagues, On behalf of my co-authors, I am pleased to inform you of our recent publication in *Science of the Total Environment*. Bachman MJ, Keller JM, West KL, Jensen BA. Persistent organic pollutant concentrations in blubber of 16 species of cetaceans stranded in the Pacific Islands from 1997 through 2011. Sci Total Environ 2014; 488-489: 115-123. Abstract: Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are toxic man-made chemicals that bioaccumulate and biomagnify in food webs, making them a ubiquitous threat to the marine environment. Although many studies have determined concentrations of POPs in top predators, no studies have quantified POPs in stranded cetaceans within the last 30 years around the Hawaiian Islands. A suite of POPs was measured in the blubber of 16 cetacean species that stranded in the tropical Pacific, including Hawai'i from 1997 to 2011. The sample set includes odontocetes (*n* = 39) and mysticetes (*n* = 3). Median (range) contaminant concentrations in ng/g lipid for the most representative species category (delphinids excluding killer whales [*n* = 27]) are: 9650 (44.4–99,100) for ∑DDTs, 6240 (40.8–50,200) for ∑PCBs, 1380 (6.73–9520) for ∑chlordanes, 1230 (13.4–5510) for ∑toxaphenes, 269 (1.99–10,100) for ∑PBDEs, 280 (2.14–4190) for mirex, 176 (5.43–857) for HCB, 48.1 (< 5.42–566) for ∑HCHs, 33.9 (< 2.42–990) for ∑HBCDs, 1.65 (< 0.435–11.7) for octachlorostyrene and 1.49 (< 2.07–13.1) for pentachlorobenzene. ∑PCB concentrations in these Pacific Island cetaceans approach and sometimes exceed proposed toxic threshold values. Backward stepwise multiple regressions indicated the influence of life history parameters on contaminant concentrations when performed with three independent variables (species category, year of stranding, and sex/age class). No temporal trends were noted (*p* > 0.063), but sex/age class influences were evident with adult males exhibiting greater contaminant loads than adult females and juveniles for ∑DDT, ∑PCBs, ∑CHLs, and mirex ( *p* ≤ 0.036). POP concentrations were lower in mysticetes than odontocetes for many compound classes (*p* ≤ 0.003). *p,p*′-DDE/∑DDTs ratios were greater than 0.6 for all species except humpback whales, suggesting exposure to an old DDT source. These POP levels are high enough to warrant concern and continued monitoring.

New paper on harbor porpoise population genetics in Western Palearctic waters
by Michael GMAIL 03 Jun '14

03 Jun '14

Dear all, We are pleased to announce the publication of the following article: Fontaine M. C., Roland K., Calves I., Austerlitz F., Palstra F. P., Tolley K. A., Ryan S., Ferreira M., Jauniaux T., Llavona Á., Öztürk B., Oztürk A. A., Ridoux V., Rogan E., Sequeira M., Siebert U., Vikingsson G. A., Borrell A., Michaux J. R., Aguilar A., 2014 Postglacial climate changes and rise of three ecotypes of harbor porpoises, Phocoena phocoena, in western Palearctic waters. Molecular Ecology, In press. Abstract: Despite no obvious barriers to gene flow in the marine realm, environmental variation and ecological specializations can lead to genetic differentiation in highly mobile predators. Here, we investigated the genetic structure of the harbor porpoise over the entire species distribution range in western Palearctic waters. Combined analyses of ten microsatellite loci and a 5,085 bases-pairs portion of the mitochondrial genome revealed the existence of three ecotypes, equally divergent at the mitochondrial genome, distributed in the Black Sea, the European continental shelf waters, and a previously overlooked ecotype in the upwelling zones of Iberia and Mauritania. Historical demographic inferences using Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) suggest that these ecotypes diverged during the Last Glacial Maximum (~23–19 kilo-years ago, kyrBP). ABC supports the hypothesis that the Black Sea and upwelling ecotypes share a more recent common ancestor (~14 kyrBP) than either does with the European continental shelf ecotype (~28 kyrBP), suggesting they likely descended from the extinct populations that once inhabited the Mediterranean during the glacial and post-glacial period. We showed that the two Atlantic ecotypes established a narrow admixture zone in the Bay of Biscay during the last millennium, with highly asymmetric gene flow. This study highlights the impacts that climate change may have on the distribution and speciation process in pelagic predators and shows that allopatric divergence can occur in these highly mobile species and be a source of genetic diversity.
