Dear Bioaoustics-L Community,
Last week, we contacted you regarding my students bachelor's thesis at the University of Rostock and kindly invited you to take part in an online survey. This e-mail serves as a reminder that we do need your participation to derive meaningful conclusions from the results of the survey. Especially participants from South and Mid America, Africa, Oceania, and Asia are currently underrepresented and are welcome to participate. As your expertise is of particular value to this study, we would greatly appreciate your participation until June 19th. If you need more time, please indicate so. The survey will take about 15 to 25 minutes to complete. You can access the survey here: <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeD6IS8unzPo56rsGUo1HBCZfzqSLXWHjT XvtJmhdmxEO19sw/viewform?usp=header> https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeD6IS8unzPo56rsGUo1HBCZfzqSLXWHjTX vtJmhdmxEO19sw/viewform?usp=header We would be very grateful for your contributions, as your response will significantly enhance the quality and relevance of the study. If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Michael Dähne and Alexander Henning University of Rostock, Department of Biosciences [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Original Mail: Dear Bioacoustics-L list members and experts on noise impacts, My student Alexander Henning has created a survey on noise impacts on marine animals during his Bachelors thesis in Biosciences at the University of Rostock (Germany). It focusses on international and national protection of marine animals in the context of noise-intensive offshore projects. I would like to invite you to participate in this online survey to collect and compare international approaches to noise regulation and mitigation. National approaches to managing underwater noise and protecting marine mammals are of particular interest. We particularly invite marmam participants from all countries but would specifically encourage those from countries that do not regularly participate in international steering groups considering underwater noise and would therefore be underrepresented. The survey takes approximately 15-25 minutes to complete and can be accessed here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeD6IS8unzPo56rsGUo1HBCZfzqSLXWHjT XvtJmhdmxEO19sw/viewform?usp=header Your participation would be greatly appreciated. All responses are confidential and used solely for academic purposes. Your insights would contribute a better understanding of international strategies for marine mammal protection. If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact me. Thank you very much in advance for your time and support. Sincerely, Alexander Henning and Michael Dähne University of Rostock, Department of Biosciences Please respond to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> for any further questions
