Abstract:
During 23 June through 1 August 2010, the 22nd Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC 2010)
exercise was conducted in the Hawaii Range Complex (HRC). RIMPAC is a biennial,
multinational exercise designed to strengthen regional partnerships and improve
interoperability. It is an exercise designed to bring multinational military assets together
to train towards bettering the Navy’s capabilities. Anti-submarine warfare (ASW) was the
exercise's main feature.
As part of compliance requirements with the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) of
1972 and the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, the Navy developed the HRC
Monitoring Plan to provide marine mammal and sea turtle monitoring (DoN 2008). In
order to effectively meet the goals outlined in this Plan, it was determined that one
example of training events recommended for monitoring should contain one or more
surface combatants conducting ASW during a regularly scheduled training event.
Research elements of that Plan include visual surveys and passive acoustic monitoring.&lt;br/&gt;

The monitoring effort for RIMPAC 2010 consisted of the following:&lt;br/&gt;
- Vessel-based line transect surveys to assess the diversity, distribution, and
behavior of target species (e.g., marine mammals and sea turtles)&lt;br/&gt;
- Installation of one shallow- and one deep-water passive acoustic monitors (PAMs)
in waters off Ni'ihau.

Abstract:
Aerial surveys to monitor marine mammals and sea turtles (MM/ST) were conducted in
conjunction with two training events during the period February 16 to March 5, 2011, including
(a) U.S. Navy Submarine Commander’s Course (SCC) naval training event in the Hawaii Range Complex (HRC) on the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) instrumented range between Kauai
and Niihau, Hawaii; and 
(b) Undersea Warfare Exercise (USWEX) training event south of Oahu
and Molokai.
Surveys in support of the SCC event occurred on 4 consecutive days from
February 16 to 19, 2011, in waters adjoining Kauai and Niihau where the missile destroyer (DDG)
and other ships were operating, followed by shoreline surveys of Kauai and Niihau on 2 separate
days thereafter: February 24 and 26, 2011.
This was followed by shoreline surveys of the Four
Islands region in support of the USWEX event on 2 separate days, February 28 and March 5, 2011.
The survey methods and sampling design were submitted and approved in advance, per the
statement of work (SOW), to the Navy Technical Representative (NTR) and followed previously
established protocol (Mobley and Milette 2010; Smultea et al. 2009a,b).

Abstract:
The objective of this current survey effort was to conduct baseline surveys to further document marine mammal and sea turtle occurrence in nearshore waters around the island of Guam. This report presents the results of the Guam Marine Species Monitoring Survey conducted on the MV Island Girl from February 17 to March 3, 2011. This survey covered an area of approximately 4,100 square kilometers (km2)(1,200 square nautical miles ([nm2]) to document marine mammal
and sea turtle distribution around the island of Guam. The approach primarily followed opportunistic survey protocols used in a recent survey around Guam (Ligon et al. 2011), which remained nearshore (within 5.6 kilometers [km] or 3 nautical miles [nm] of the coastline). ). The resulting sightings, therefore, consisted of spinner dolphins (Stenella longirostris; 7 of 9 sightings) and a mixed group of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus). In addition, one species of sea turtle was observed (green
sea turtle, Chelonia mydas). Additional lines of effort following standard line-transect protocols were attempted (out to 10 nm from shore) when sea conditions permitted.

Abstract:
In order to support the U.S. Navy in meeting regulatory requirements for monitoring established under the Final Rules and to provide a mechanism to assist with coordination of program objectives under the ICMP, this survey was conducted to confirm the Marine Mammal Monitoring on Navy Ranges (M3R) acoustic detections and marine mammal satellite tagging was prior to a training event, the Submarine Commander’s Course exercise, which would be conducted in the same area during February 2012.&lt;br/&gt;
The survey occurred from 11 to 19 January 2012 in the waters west of Kaua'i in the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) instrumented range within the HRC. This cruise was designed as a non-random, non-systematic survey designed to optimize encounter rates for the purpose of visual validation of acoustic detections and satellite tagging of species for which population size, habitat use, and movement pattern data are lacking and which may be exposed to U.S. Navy training.&lt;br/&gt;

Abstract:
When Christopher Columbus discovered the Cayman Islands in 1503, he named them Las Tortugas (the turtles). Ferdinand Columbus recounted that the islands were ?full of tortoises, as was all the sea about, insomuch as that they looked like little rocks? The green turtle population was estimated at over 6.5 million turtles at the time of the discovery, and turtle fishing (turtling) came to form the basis of the economy and culture of the Cayman Islands. This historical importance is memorialized in our Coat of Arms and currency, but by the beginning of the 19th century, commercial exploitation had driven the immense green turtle nesting population in the Cayman Islands to the brink of extinction. Wild turtles continue have a central place in the memories and experiences of many of our citizens, but today, only a few dozen nesting sea turtles remain. Where do these endangered greens and loggerheads go after they leave our beaches? With the help of schools and the community, the Cayman Islands Department of Environment and the Marine Turtle Research Group have begun a satellite telemetry project to track our historically and culturally important sea turtles for the first time.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to document inter-nesting habitat use, migratory pathways, and post-nesting movements of Georgia?s nesting loggerhead turtles using satellite telemetry. Loggerhead turtle movements will be compared with the distributions of commercial fishing and dredging activity and results will be used to make management recommendations to protect adult loggerhead sea turtles and their habitats. A total of twelve satellite transmitters will be deployed from Jekyll (7) and Cumberland Islands (5). &lt;br&gt;Our tracking project also provides a unique educational opportunity for students to learn more about Georgia?s loggerhead turtles and the coastal marine ecosystems. During the spring of 2004, Sea Island, Georgia, will be the host of the historic G-8 Conference, where world leaders will meet to discuss important global economic issues. School kids from grades K-5 were given the opportunity to submit names for eight of the turtles. Over 1,200 Georgia students in kindergarten through fifth grade took part in the sea turtle naming contest. Turtles were named in honor of the main eight countries participating in the G-8 Conference including the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Russia, France, Italy, Germany and Canada. The winning children were then invited to take part in a special ceremony with Governor Sonny Perdue at the State Capitol. Click on each individual turtle to get more information on the winning students. There are wonderful stories behind the children and each name that was chosen.&lt;br&gt;Our project will study the movements of Georgia?s adult loggerhead sea turtles during their nesting season (May-August), document their migratory movements and their foraging habitats (home range) and then we will make a comparison with known fishing activity in the area. &lt;br&gt;
