An introductory series of videos presenting what we know about the ocean and sound by OCR Founder, Michael Stocker.

Just 50 years ago, a number of marine mammal species were close to extinction in US waters. Years of unregulated hunting and reckless pollution depleted their populations and threatened their habitats. Thankfully, people took action, and in 1972, Congress passed the Marine Mammal Protection Act. The MMPA was the first federal law to establish protections for marine mammals—giving them a chance to recover and one day thrive again.
