Album: This is a private album that is not visible to anonymous users Marine Mammals

Summary: The Protected Resources Division (PRD) conducts applied research on cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) and pinnipeds (seals and sea lions) of the Pacific Ocean. We are guided by the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act; accordingly, our research is designed to aid in the management and conservation of these protected species. The geographic focus of this work at PRD is on the Pacific Ocean (in particular, the Eastern Tropical Pacific, the Pacific Islands, and the California Current). PRD conducts surveys to study marine mammals within their ecosystems. These research surveys are conducted from various platforms, including ships, aircraft, and shore-based stations. The majority of the photos in this collection are taken during these surveys. For more information on marine mammal research in the Division, please visit the PRD website.
