Purpose
NOAA Fisheries Acoustics Program, along with the Marine
Mammal Commission and a number of partners from the scientific
research and aquaria communities, will deliver a series of public
lectures around the United States to increase public knowledge
about human noise and marine animals. This educational lecture
series is entitled "Marine Animals and Human Noise" and will run
from March through November of 2004. The purpose of the lecture
series is to present current scientific knowledge about the types
and uses of human sound in marine environments, characteristics
of sound and marine animal hearing, and biological and behavioral
factors relevant to the effects of human noise. The meetings are
intended to facilitate constructive dialogue among concerned
parties and will demonstrate a commitment across involved
communities to base conservation decisions on the best available
science. Each lecture is open to the public and media and
features local speakers from academia and government
organizations speaking at venues such as aquariums and research
facilities. Learn more about the
