MARMAM subscribers, On behalf of our research team working on behavioral response studies of marine mammals in southern California (SOCAL-BRS), we would like to announce the availability of our annual report from the 2011 field season. Please go to: www.socal-brs.org and pull down the page that says SOCAL-11 - you will find a link to the .pdf right under the photo and header. We would like to especially thank all of our team members for their hard work, as well as the support of our research sponsors at the U.S. Navy, Chief of Naval Operations, Environmental Readiness Division (OPNAV N45) and the Office of Naval Research. Thanks also for the efforts of NOAA's Office of Science and Technology and Office of Protected Resources, the Southwest Regional Marine Mammal Stranding Network, the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, the fun and dedicated crew of the /M/V Truth /from Truth Aquatics, the California Coastal Commission, and the American Cetacean Society. We are well into the analysis of both of the first two years of data and have presented some of the preliminary results; peer-reviewed publications from the SOCAL-BRS project we be forthcoming in the coming months. We are planning a slightly modified field approach in the summer and fall of 2012 - further information on these plans will be available at socal.brs.org in early summer. We will again provide the from-the-field blog when our fieldwork begins in late July.
