A tribute to the life of our former Chair of the Committee of Scientific Advisors, Dr. William F. Perrin. Bill’s research on dolphins killed in the eastern Tropical Pacific tuna fishery was a major impetus for the passage of the MMPA. Globally influential in cetacean science and conservation, Bill was also a formidable marine mammal taxonomist.
A tribute to the life of Dr. Sam Ridgway. Sam was a friend, mentor, and intellectual inspiration to all in the field of marine mammal science. A member of our Committee of Scientific Advisors from 1975-1978, he remained a dear friend and colleague to the Commission for almost half a century.
