As you look out across the shoreline and waters of Puget Sound, the beauty may overshadow recognition of the aquatic lands below — lands that are rich, complex, and important parts of the ecosystem. Whether you are studying the deep waters or near shore, you will find critical habitats for wildlife populations of both biological and economic value, including shellfish, salmon and other fish, seabirds, and marine mammals.
Here you will find research and information related to the... [More]

| March 29, 2003 - Military briefings from the Pentagon and Central Command in Qatar have detailed the use of high-tech precision weapons in the war in Iraq. But in southern Iraq, in the waterway leading to the port of Umm Qasr and in the harbor of Bahrain, the more ancient and precise work of marine mammals is under way. Dolphins are using their natural sonar to detect mines in the water near Umm Qasr. And in Bahrain, sea lions are guarding boats and piers from potentially threatening swimmers...

On the surface, the ocean may look calm and serene. But, beneath the surface is a different story. All around the world, our oceans are in crisis. Whale slaughter continues to put endangered species at risk and pollution from land-based sources is turning the oceans into a dumping ground. Throughout the seven seas, there are many industries committing crimes against nature, but no one is holding them accountable.
Even the deep and remote areas that once served as refuges from fishing... [More]

Australian Museum report for the Australian Government Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts
This volume is the marine counterpart of Yen and Butcher's (1997) overview of the conservation of non-marine invertebrates. These animals represent the great bulk of marine biodiversity and the consequences of not properly managing and conserving them will be profound. Conservation as a whole suffers from an imbalance in favour of vertebrates, but marine conservation, in ... [More]

Jan. 27 (Bloomberg) A toxic chemical used to keep the bottom of boats smooth and clean may impair the hearing of whales, possibly causing the marine mammals to beach themselves, according to a study to be published in Biophysical Journal.
Tributyltin oxide, also known as TBT, is applied to boats to prevent the accumulation of barnacles and other debris that slow vessels down while on the open water. Researchers at Yale University found the chemical prevents so-called outer hair cells... [More]
