Description

With thousands of Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) platforms in the Gulf, it has been questioned whether the many species of whales and dolphins are affected by physical structures, noise, effluents, spills, boat and air traffic, and explosive platform removals. This presentation reviews the results of recent major offshore vessel and aircraft surveys of marine mammals including the ongoing ''GULFCET'' study. It reviews the implications to the petroleum industry, and possible future research directions
