Download: Report of the Joint U. ONR hosted a workshop March , , to discuss tag design and attachment issues with researchers, tag makers, veterinarians and the permitting agency. The goal of the effects of sound on marine life topic is to better understand and characterize the behavioral, physiological hearing and stress response and potentially population-level consequences of sound exposure on marine life.
Physiological Stress Response : Marine mammals are exposed to a variety of potentially stressful anthropogenic and natural environmental inputs in both wild and captive environments.
Little is known about long-term effects of the stress response on individuals and populations in marine mammals. Prolonged exposure to stressors may result in immune system suppression, reproductive failure, accelerated aging and slowed growth.
ONR hosted a workshop on Nov. The purpose of this workshop was to assemble a cross-section of researchers in the field of stress physiology and behavioral research to identify the state-of-the-art science in stress physiology as it may apply to marine mammals, identify research needs for marine mammal stress-related research, and evaluate available or developing technologies for measuring indicators of stress ultimately in free-ranging marine mammals.

Enter Search Term s :. Marine Mammals and Biology The Marine Mammals and Biology MMB program supports basic and applied research and technology development related to understanding the effects of sound on marine mammals, including physiological, behavioral, ecological and population-level effects.
Research Concentration Areas Monitoring and Detection The MMB monitoring and detection topic goal is to improve marine mammal monitoring capabilities over current methods by developing new and existing technology such as passive acoustics, IR and others.
Integrated Ecosystem Research The MMB integrated ecosystem research topic seeks to understand the patterns and causes of variability in the distribution and abundance of marine mammals over space and time. Navy Marine Mammal Program's veterinary care of dolphins and sea lions. NMMF veterinarians, technicians, and fellows provide on-call veterinary care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Mornings are typically used for clinical procedures, veterinary medical technologies support, and medical rounds. Most afternoons are dedicated to sample processing, data entry, research, training, and emerging care needs. Students are given the opportunity to observe and participate in all clinical activities, under the direction of the veterinary staff, as the situation permits. In addition, students are expected to complete a clinical research project in marine mammal medicine and then present the results at the end of their externship.
Through conservation-focused internship opportunities, the NMMF strives to train the next generation of marine mammal scientists and veterinarians in conservation medicine. Through advanced opportunities in conservation medicine, we are cultivating the next generation of leaders in marine mammal science, medicine, and conservation.
To apply for any of our internship and externship opportunities, please contact Erika Putman, Director of Education and Outreach: erika. Since that time, the program has expanded its study with the development of the Fleet Marine Mammal Systems utilizing dolphins, beluga whales, and sea lions. In addition, the MMP is doing a variety of research projects investigating the hearing abilities in a number of species of marine mammals. We are currently offering positions to be a part of the marine mammal program through internship opportunities.
This internship is designed to give undergraduate students a dynamic educational experience in the marine mammal field while offering valuable career experience. Students will be responsible for a number of support tasks with dolphins and sea lions throughout the course of the internship.
These responsibilities will include diet preparation, sanitation, and equipment and facility maintenance. Interns may also have the opportunity to assist the marine mammal training staff in husbandry and open ocean training.
