CORONAVIRUS-19 : SEA NOISE POLLUTION PLUMMETS : GIVES SEA LIFE RESPITE
DAILY MAIL SCIENCE : UNDERWATER NOISE POLLUTION : SEA LIFE RESPITE
EXCERPT:
'We are facing a moment of truth,' marine acoustician Michelle Fournet of Cornell University - who studies humpback whales off of Alaska - told the Guardian.
'We have an opportunity to listen - and that opportunity to listen will not appear again in our lifetime.'
The last time that the oceans fell quiet was in the wake of the terrorist attacks of 9/11, when a reduction in shipping allowed experts to determine that ship noise is connected to chronic stress in baleen whales.

DNA REGISTRATION TECHNOLOGY and OCEAN GENETIC DIVERSITY
RLN: OCEANS WORTH OF GENETIC DIVERSITY IN A CUP by Hunter Chase
EXCERPT: Pentcheff said that while an average person could take home one of the creatures found on the rope, it would be illegal for him to take it for scientific study. The only reason DISCO was allowed to collect samples was because they had a permit from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife that lasted for two weeks. It is unusual for the department to grant a permit allowing the collection of so many species, but the educational nature of the project, and the fact that all data will be made publicly available, is a but part of the reason it was granted.
