PREFACE

The following review of federally-funded mar~ne-mammal-researchand

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 continuning 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 [Section 202 (a) 2,3].

Under Section 205 -of the Act, the Commision 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.

The user of this document will find the Table of Contents especially

helpful for locating specific information and for understanding the

organization and breadth of the material. The first section is an

overview of all federally-funded research involving marine mammals. The

second section focuses upon research and studies conducted under authority

of the Act. The last section lists all research projects identified in

the FY80 through FY83 surveys.

The data came from two major sources: (1) directly from agency

officials at the request of the Marine Mammal Commission and (2) from the

Smithsonian Science Information Exchange. More than two dozen U.S.

government agency offices were surveyed by the Commission. Principal

investigators have on a few occasions supplemented information on- their

projects. Appendix A is a listing of publications identified by the

agencies as sources (or pending sources) of marine mammal information

resulting fro~ federally-funded research. Unless otherwise noted, the

tables and figures s~mmarize data supplied directly to the Commission by

each agency. Appendix B is a listing of all FY80 to FY83 projects that

were identified by the sources.

Agencies vary in their ability to identify and retrieve information

on special projects~ From year to year, both intra- and interagency

variability occurs reducing- the accuracy· of the data for comparative

purposes. Inherent also in such a study is the difficulty of separating

administrative costs from costs specifically for data collection and

analyses. Generally the funds reported included both costs and must be

viewed accordingly.

I. OVERVIEW OF FEDERAL RESEARCH PROGRAHS

INVOLVING MARINE MAMMALS

Fourteen departmental-level federal' agencies

participated in funding marine mammal research and

studies from FY70 through FY83. Some agencies funded

projects in all years, whereas others supportea studies

during only part of the period. Often more than one

agency within the larger departments participated in

funding research. The Smithsonian Science Information

Exchange (SSIE) reported an average of 46.5 projects

were funded with federal monies in each of the years

surveyed (Table 1); nevertheless using the Marine Mammal

Commission (MMC) ,information solicited directly from

each agency, the average annual number of projects for

FY74-FY83 was 142 (Table 2). The trends of these data

are depicted in Figure 1. Data for year 76 include the

12-month fiscal year plus a transition quarter (TQ76 =

July to September 1976) when the first day of the

federal fiscal year was shifted from 1 July to 1

October. Total funds expended by each agency annually

for marine mammal research are shown in Table 3.

Funciing by geographic region, taxonomic group, and

research issue are listed in Tables 4, 5, and 6,

respectively.

FEDERAL AGENCIES FUNDING MARINE MAMMAL RESEARCH

Department of Agriculture (USDA)

The Department of Agriculture has conducted studies related to

contagious disease organisms associated with marine mammals. The San Miguel

sea lion virus has been of special interest. Clinically, the sea lion virus

infection resembles the lesions of foot-and-mouth disease in ruminants.

Department of Commerce (DOC)

The Department of Commerce, through the National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS),· conducts marine mammal and fisheries research with emphasis

on resource surveys, biological and ecological investigations, and resource

management for the use and conservation of living marine resources. The

cetaceans and pinnipeds (exclusive of the walrus) are among the

responsibilities of this department. Research funding has been concentrated

on the northern fur seal, the incidental take of porpoise in the yellow-fin

tuna purse-seine fishery, and whale assessment. In addition, the National

Sea Grant College Program (NSGCP), the Sanctuary Programs Division within

the Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (OCRM), and the Office

of Oceanography and Marine Services (OMS) all in the National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have supported studies on marine mammals.

OCSEAP (the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program managed

by NOAA/National Ocean Service/Office of Oceanography and Marine Services)

was created through interagency agreement between the Bureau of Land

Management (now Minerals Management Service-MMS) and NOAA; it is

responsible for most Alaska OCS research funded by MMS.

Department of Defense (DOD)

The Department of Defense conducts marine mammal research through the

Headquarters Space Division of the Air Force, the Corps of Engineers of the

Army, and the Navy. Units of the Navy conducting this research include the

Naval Ocean Systems Center (formerly Naval Undersea Center) and the Office

of Naval Research. DOD research varies from basic environmental impact

research to applied military research. Differentiating marine mammals from

military targets, furthering the understanding of the undersea environment,

and the utilization of marine mammals with specific behavioral traits for

applied research are the major thrusts of the Navy program; studies on

behavior modification, husbandry, bioacoustics, migration and distribution,

as well as sensory perception are supported. Navy research also includes

studies of the bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic diseases of marine

mammals with particular emphasis on those diseases that can be transmitted.

=
3

Department of Energy (DOE)

The Department of Energy (formerly the Atomic Energy Commission and the

Energy Research and Development Administration) has occasionally supported

marine mammal research. The thrust of the research has been directed at the

behavioral ecology of sea otters, especially at Amchitka Island in the area

of the CANNlKAN Shot, and also on problems associated with censusing marine

mammals.

Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)

The Department of Health and Human Services, formerly the Department of

Health, Education and Welfare (HEW), through the National Institutes of

Health, funds some research related to'marine mammals;' the research is

basically oriented toward an understanding of human health and physiology.

It consists primarily of research on physiological mechanisms "and

adaptations. Marine mammals are often one of several vertebrates used in

the research projects.

Department of the Interior (DOl)

The Department of the Interior, through the Minerals Management Service

(MMS), supports environmental assessment studies involving the effects of

outer continental shelf development on marine mammals and their habitats.

Special studies such as the effects of hydrocarbons and other disturbances

from oil and gas activities are also supported. The Fish and Wildlife

Service (FWS) supports management related research on the biology and

population ecology of walrus, sea otter, polar bear, and sirenians (manatees

and dugong). Additional studies are conducted on tissue contaminant levels

in marine mammals, marine mammal tagging, and population assessment of the

Hawaiian monk seal in the Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge. The

Geological Survey conducts research in marine mammal paleontology, and the

National Park Service supports some marine mammal studies relative to

national park and monument development.

Department of State (DOS)

The Department of State has supported studies of the Antarctic krill

resource (a major food. resource of Southern Ocean marine mammals) in

consideration of the prospect of international commercial exploitation of

krill in waters adjacent to Antarctica. Funds have also been provided to

further cetacean research of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission and

the International Whaling Commission.

Department of Transportation (DOT)

The Department of Transportation, through the

supported research to identify potential applied uses of

capabilities of animals, including marine mammals.

Marine Mammal Commission (MMC)

The Marine Mammal Commission supports research and studies pertaining

to the conservation ~nd protection of marine mammals to improve the

operation of the -Marine Mammal Protection Act. Policy studies;

methodological "research; information overviews; issue-specific research on

population assessment, critical habitats, taking, man-induced hazards,

ecological inter-relationships, and socio-economic/legal aspects of marine

mammal conservation; and reviews of agency actions and research under the

Act are integrated into the directed research program of the Commission.

II. RESEARCH AND STUDIES UNDER AUTHORITY

OF THE HAlilNE MAMMAL PROTECTION ACT OF 1972

The Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 (MMPA)

established the Marine Mammal Commission and distributed

marine mammal protection and conservation

responsibilities to the Secretary of Commerce and the

Secretary of the Interior, including the agencies under

their purview. The Act acknowledged the need for

further information and encouraged research; some

responsibilities for research and its implementation

were designated in Sections 108, 109, Ill, 112, 202, and

205. Prior to 1982, funding authorized for marine

mammal activities conducted by the National Marine

Fisheries Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service were

authorized under·· Title I of the Act on a section by

section basis. As of Fiscal Year 1982, however,

authorized funding for the various sections was combined

so that Commerce and Interior now each receive a single

authorized funding level that covers all expenses

incurred under Title I. Table 7 is a list of annual

funding authorized under the various sections of the

Act, the amounts requested by agencies pursuant to the

Act, and amounts appropriated by Congress. Additional

federal funds have been spent in activities related to

marine mammals; the additional sources and amounts of

research funding are shown in Table 8 and Figure 2. The

number of personnel assigned to marine mammal research

versus administrative responsibilities within. the

National Marine Fisheries Service and the Fish and

Wildlife Service from FY73 through FY83 are listed in

Table 9.
22

--_. ----- - - RESEARCH RESPONSIBILITIES OF FEDERAL

AGENCIES UNDER THE MARINE MAMMAL PROTECTION ACT

Congress, in developing the Marine Mammal Protection Act, recognized

that there was inadequate knowledge of the ecology and population dynamics

of marine mammals as well as of other factors important for marine mammal

protection and conservation. The _Act, therefore, specified certain

research and study responsibilities for the Department of Commerce,

Department of the Interior, and the Marine Mammal Commission.

The Secretary of Commerce was directed to undertake, in consultation

with the Marine Mammal Commission, 'a study of the North Pacific fur seals

to determine whether herds of such seals, subject to the jurisdiction of

the United States, are presently at their optimum sustainable population

and what population trends are evident. The Secretary was also to

undertake a comprehensive study in 'consultation with the Secretary of

State, to determine what modifications, if any, should be made to the

provisions of the North Pacific Fur Seal Convention, or of the Marine

Mammal Protection Act, or both, to make the Convention and the Act

consistent with each other. These studies were to be completed by 21

October 1973 [Sec. 108 (b) (1)].

The Secretary of Commerce was also directed to immediately undertake a

program of research and development for the purpose of devising improved

fishing methods and gear so as to, reduce to the maximum extent practicable

the incidental taking of marine mammals in connection with commercial

fishing. For purposes of this research, Congress authorized the sum of

$1,000,000 to be appropriated for both FY73 and FY74. Funds appropriated

for this research remain available until expended (Sec. III (a)].

Both the Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of the Interior are

authorized by the Act to make grants to each state whose laws and

regulations relating to protection and management of marine mammals which

primarily inhabit waters or lands within the boundaries of that state are

found to be consistent with the purposes and policies of ,the Act. The

purpose of such grants shall be to assist such states in developing and

implementing state programs for the protection and management of such

marine mammals. Such grants are not to exceed 50 per centum of the costs

of a particular program's development, and implementation [Sec. 109 (b)].

The Secretaries are also authorized to make, after review by the

Marine Mammal Commission, grants to any federal or state agency, public or

private institution, or other person to enable research on topics relevant

to the protection and conservation of marine mammals. Authorized to be

appropriated for these grants in FY73 and for each of the next four fiscal

years was an amount not to exceed $2,500,000 -- one-third of the sum to be

available to the Secretary of the Interior and two-thirds to the Secretary

of Commerce [Sec. 110 (a) (b) (c)].
23

The Secretaries, as appropriate, are directed to review annually the

operation of each program in which the United States participate~ involving

the taking of marine-mammals on land [Sec. 112 (d)~.--Ihe-Secretaries are

required by the Act to report annually to the public and to the Congress on

the current status of all marine mammal species and population stocks

subject to the provision of the Act [Sec. 103 (f)].

The Marine Mammal Commission established under Section 201 of the Act

was directed in Section 202 (a) to:

1. Undertake a review and study-of the activities of the United

States pursuant to existing laws and international

conventions relating to marine mammals, including, but not

limited to, the International Convention for the Regulation

of .Wha1ing, the Whaling Convention Act of 1949, the Interim

Convention on the Conservation of North Pacific Fur Seals,.

and the Fur Seal Act of 1966;

2. Conduct a continuing review of the' condition of the stocks

of marine mammals, of methods for their protection and

conservation, ,of humane means of taking marine mammals, of

research programs conducted under authority of the Act, and

of all applications for permits; and

3. Undertake or cause 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.

The Act gave the Commission access to all studies and data compiled by

federal agencies regarding marine mammals. With the consent of the

appropriate Secretary or agency head, the Commission may also utilize the

facilities or services of any federal agency and shall take every feasible

step to avoid duplication of research and to carry out the purposes of the

Act [Sec. 205].
