 | In this one-year limited-scope study, the objectives were to test our ability to make key measures needed to study the role of nutritive body condition in the behavior and reproduction in the Northern bottlenose whale (Hyperoodon ampullatus) and the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae). Our approach was to collect animal-attached tag data, photographs, and tissue samples during three research trials in Canada and Norway and from opportunistic sources. Every one of ... |

|
| The current research program, begun 01 July 2008, seeks to more fully quantify behavioral response of cetaceans to sonar as a function of the frequency band utilized by the sonar. A second objective of the research program is to continue to monitor the movements and behavior of killer whales in relation to future FLOTEX naval exercises, if possible. The project is motivated both by the applied need to assess the ... |

|
| Data on the responsiveness of cetaceans to sonar signals are lacking, with only a few species having been studied in relation to a few types of sonar signals, mostly SURTASS-LFA (Nowacek et al., 2007). Marine mammals have been shown to react to underwater noise (Richardson et al., 1995), and captive research has documented hearing (Schlundt et al., 2000) and stress (Romano et al., 2004) effects at high received levels. To ... |

|
| Data on the responsiveness of free-ranging cetaceans to mid-frequency sonar signals are lacking, with only a few species having been studied in relation to a few types of sonar signals, mostly SURTASS-LFA (Nowacek et al., 2007). This specific project was initially motivated by observations of possible killer whale (Orcinus orca) reactions to sonars, in the Vestfjord basin of Norway and the USS Shoup incident in Haro Strait in Washington State. ... |

| This guide provides, for each of the 54 states and territories, the identity and responsibilities of the directors of the following offices: state emergency management agency, state homeland security agency, and state adjutant general and/or military department. In states where the functions of homeland security and emergency management are combined, this is so indicated. The guide also enumerates the qualifications necessary for the director position and indicates the statutory or ... |
