Hi Jenifer,
I recommend you write to Professor Andy Reid at Duke Marine University in
Baeufort, NC. Call 919-504-7590 to get the address. He does a lot of
studies on harbor porpoises and the use of pingers. I have also heard of
other studies where killer whale sounds and a fake killer whale dorsal fin
have been used to deter sea lions from fish nets. From what I heard, the
sounds frightened the animals away moreso than the dumby whale.
Good Luck, Kim Marshall
