Oil, gas and whales to be discussed at OIMB
Tuesday, August 08, 2006 | No comments posted.
Dr. Bruce Mate of Oregon State University will present “Studies Of Whales In The Presence Of Oil And Gas Exploration: Where Are We And Where Do We Need To Go Regarding Noise,” at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 16, at the boathouse auditorium at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology in Charleston.
Mate is a professor of fisheries and wildlife at OSU. He has conducted marine mammal research since 1967, working on seals, sea lions and whales. He is a leader in the development of satellite-monitored radio tracking of marine mammals. Using this technique, he has tagged and tracked manatees, pilot whales, bottlenose dolphins, white-sided dolphins, gray whales, right whales, bowhead whales, humpback whales, sperm whales, fin whales and blue whales. One of his current projects is investigating the behavior of whales in the presence of oil and gas explorations and how the noise from these activities may influence these animals.
