MARMAM Community, On behalf of and with sincere thanks to the many co-authors and contributors to this effort, I’d like to bring to your attention the publication of a new paper on noise exposure criteria assessment methods for marine mammal behavioral responses to anthropogenic noise. The citation and open access site for this paper is: Southall, B.L., Nowacek, D.P., Bowles, A.E., Senigaglia, V., Bejder, L., and Tyack, P.L.. (2021). Marine Mammal Noise Exposure Criteria: Assessing the Severity of Marine Mammal Behavioral Responses to Human Noise. Aquatic Mammals, 47(5), 421-464. https://doi.org/10.1578/AM.47.5.2021.421 Please note that this paper is the third and final contribution of an expert panel working on the second iteration of marine mammal noise exposure criteria (following on an initial 2007 publication). Citations and access points for the two earlier publications are: Southall, B.L. (2021). Evolutions in marine mammal noise exposure criteria. Acoustics Today 17(2), 52-60. https://acousticstoday.org/2021summerevolutions-in-marine-mammal-noise-expos... Southall, B. L., Finneran, J. J., Reichmuth, C., Nachtigall, P. E., Ketten, D.
