Hi Bernie,
I know you hold special place in your heart for whales, plus you are a pers=
evering scientist, so I would expect no less.
What seems to be new information in the research paper I linked to is that =
mid-frequency (1000Hz - 8Khz) anthropogenic noise affects low-frequency (<1=
00Hz)blue whale communication behavior. One small step in a wide body of r=
esearch, yet perhaps a noteworthy moment.
