Cabrillo Marine Aquarium invites you to a special presentation by some of the world’s foremost authorities on whales on Thursday, August 7 at 12:00pm in the John M. Olguin Auditorium. Researchers from the Southern California Behavioral Response Study (SOCAL ‐ BRS) will be presenting on various projects being conducted along our shores.
SOCAL ‐ BRS is a multi ‐ year effort (2010 ‐ 2015) designed to better understand marine mammal behavior and reactions to sound. The overall objective is to provide a better scientific basis for estimating risk and minimizing effects of active sonar for the U.S. Navy and regulatory agencies.
SOCAL-BRS is a multi-agency, multi-disciplinary project, led by Brandon Southall of Southall Environmental Associates. Partner agencies include Cascadia Research, Oregon State University, Duke University, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, Office of Naval Research, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Scripps Research Institute and more.
Presenters will include Southall, as well as John Calambokidis of Cascadia Research and Ari Friedlaender from the Marine Mammal Institute at Oregon State University. Others team members will also be present to share information about their role in the project. Research equipment used in these studies will also be on display.
This event is free and reservations are not required. For questions, please call Diane Alps, Programs Coordinator at 310-548-7562 ext 236.
