Survey of Federally-Funded Marine Mammal Research and Studies FY 70-FY 89

摘要

The review of federally-funded marine mammal research and studies is a reference document presented primarily in tabular form rather than as a continuous text. It is an update of previous surveys compiled by the author for the Marine Mammal Commission. The Commission conducts a continuing review of research programs conducted or proposed to be conducted under the authority of the Marine Mammal Protection Act and undertakes or causes to be undertaken such other studies as it deems necessary or desirable in connection with its assigned duties as to the protection and conservation of marine mammals. Under Section 205 of the Act, the Commission is provided access to all studies and data compiled by federal agencies regarding marine mammals so as to ensure that unnecessary duplication of research is avoided and to carry out the purposes of the Act.
