in delphinid whistles: occurrence, causes, and implications”. Julie also holds a
B.Sc. in Marine Biology from the University of Guelph. She has been recognized for
her research developing a new technique to survey marine mammal populations using
the unique vocalizations of different species. Julie has extensive knowledge on
the distribution, abundance and behavior of marine mammals in the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans. She has reviewed Navy Environmental Assessment documents, and has extensive
