	Acoustic Environment of Haro Strait - Summary
		are combined to analyze the acoustic environment in Haro Strait of Puget Sound, home to pods of southern resident killer whales.
		Haro Strait is a highly variable acoustic environment with active commercial shipping, whale watching, and Naval activity.
		Acoustic modeling is used to complement field measurements, as the shallow water environment of Haro Strait is far too complex, and the geo-acoustic parameters of the area are not characterized well enough to rely on modeling alone.

	Oregon Treaty
		A compromise between the American desire for a boundary with Russian Alaska at 54°40½ N lat to the Columbia River mouth, the treaty set the boundary at 49° to the middle of the channel between the mainland and Vancouver Island, thence through the middle of the channel and Juan de Fuca Strait to the Pacific.
		But the "middle of the channel" could have followed either Rosario Strait or Haro Strait between the Strait of Georgia and Juan de Fuca Strait and and between them lay San Juan Island which was claimed by both Britain and the US.
		The boundary through the strait thus remained in doubt until 1872, when it was referred to the German emperor, Wilhelm I, for arbitration.

		(202) Haro Strait and Boundary Pass form the westernmost of the three main channels leading from the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the SE end of the Strait of Georgia; it is the one most generally used.
		Vessels bound from the W to ports in Alaska or British Columbia should use the Haro Strait/Boundary Pass channel, as it is the widest channel and is well marked.
		Vessels bound N from Puget Sound may use Rosario Strait or Haro Strait; the use of San Juan Channel by deep-draft vessels is not recommended.

		Because of mixing in the Haro Strait, whales abound.
		The front at Haro Strait drives the vertical mixing of these fluids, so transitions between the two are marked by changes in salinity, temperature, and density.
		The third part of the mission was a collaboration with the Harvard oceanographers, led by Alan Robinson, professor of geophysical fluid dynamics in the earth and planetary sciences department.

	Ocean Surface Mixed Layer
		The Strait of Georgia and Juan de Fuca Strait are two coastal ocean basins situated between Vancouver Island and the mainland coasts of British Columbia and Washington State.
		The two straits are connected through Haro Strait-- a narrow channel with sills at its southern and northern ends.
		We divide this system into three basins: Georgia basin, Haro Strait and Fuca basin, each of which consisting of an upper box and a lower box. The main exchange between the estuary and the Pacific Ocean is at the western end of the Juan de Fuca Strait.

		One of the incidents that features prominently in their case took place in Haro Strait, right next to San Juan Island, in May 2003 when the USS Shoup steamed through the strait with its mid-range sonar blasting.
		Haro Strait is a significant habitat for several threatened and endangered species, and the Navy was apparently oblivious to the fact that there would be tons of witnesses to this particularly egregious exercise.
		There were several boatloads of eco-tourists in close proximity, as well as more people on the shore, who could hear the active sonar with their own ears and witness the marine life behavior.

		Witnesses to the May 5 incident in Haro Strait say it is definitely affecting the creatures, which depend on their extraordinarily sensitive hearing to keep them alive, allowing them to navigate and find food and mates.
		As the porpoise examinations are being conducted, maneuvering is expected in Congress on a Bush administration proposal to ease environmental restrictions that have prevented the Navy from widespread deployment of its new, superpowerful sonar.

		The porpoises washed ashore after the Everett-based destroyer used its mid-range tactical sonar during routine training in Haro Strait, between Vancouver Island and San Juan Island, on May 5.
		Whale watchers and others in Haro Strait reported seeing whales and other marine mammals quickly flee the area while the Shoup was using its sonar.

		The Americans countered with Haro, which they contended was directly south of the boundary line at the 49th parallel.
		Prevost was advised that possession of the islands by the British Crown "must contribute very much to the quiet possession of Vancouver's Island, and her Majesty's Government therefore desire that you should use your utmost efforts to induce the American commissioner to assent to the view which Her Majesty's Government have taken of the case."
		Britain's primary argument for Rosario Strait was that it ran directly south from the 49th parallel through the Strait of Georgia, thus satisfying the language if not the spirit of the Treaty of Oregon.
