Code 541700 Photo-identification of Large Whales in the Eastern North Pacific (WC-ID): Scientific research on migratory movements, distribution, stock structure, reproductive rates, abundance and behavior of large whales using photo-identification and impacts of tagging research off the eastern Pacific Ocean. Supported by NOAA and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Code 541700 Hawaii Odontocete Research (HI-OD): Conducted scientific studies on odontocetes in Hawaiian waters to examine behavior, movement patterns, including false killer whales and beaked whales using dive and satellite tags, photo-identification techniques and visual and acoustic studies. Supported by NOAA, State of Hawaii, Office of Naval Research, U.S. Pacific Fleet, Tides Foundation, Hawaii Ocean Foundation, and Dolphin Quest.
Code 541700 Noise Impact Research (BRS): Study of whale and dolphin behavioral response to anthropogenic noise particularly Navy mid-frequency sonar. Studies involve monitoring whale and dolphin behavior and tracking the response of animals to controlled exposure playback with scaled sounded sources and Navy sources. Information from this study is critical to understanding the impact of Navy activities and also potential strategies for reducing these impacts. Supported by the US Navy.
