Dear All This week I am beginning my PhD research in international ocean law at the Australian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security (http://ancors.uow.edu.au/students/UOW189617.html) in the University of Wollongong. My work is focused on developing options for the global community to regulate anthropogenic noise in the high seas (outside the 200 nm limit of EEZs, i.e., areas beyond national jurisdiction or ABNJ). For my initial literature search, I will look at the existing law and science related to the sources of noise in ABNJ as well as the associated impacts to the animals that live there. My background includes experience in marine mammal field research and international ocean law scholarship. Although I have a substantial library of papers on my topic, I am asking Marmam-ers for help in three ways. Please send me - Science and policy articles discussing marine mammals or other biological resources that are relevant to noise in ABNJ, including reports of primary field or laboratory research, review papers and management recommendations; - Contact information for any scientific list servs that pertain to biological resources in ABNJ other than marine mammals such those for pelagic fisheries or deep sea ecosystems; and - Any recommendations you may have for other important sources of information. Please send your papers and responses to me at lorareeve@mac.com Many thanks in advance!
