:''Not to be confused with the character from the Fallout 3 video game.'' Dr. Moira Brown is a Canadian-born North Atlantic right whale researcher and senior scientist instrumental in spearheading the initiative to get the Government of Canada, shipping industry and scientists to address ship strikes and North Atlantic right whale mortality in the Bay of Fundy, Canada. After a five-year effort, the year 2003 marked the first time in the history of the (International Maritime Organization ) that shipping lanes were amended to avoid an endangered marine species. 〔(Whales Win Right-of-Way! )〕 == History == About 25 years ago, before her quest to save the North Atlantic right whale began, Moira Brown taught Physical Education Class in schools across the West Island District of Montreal. After four years of teaching, Moira decided to return to McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, to study renewable resources, which resulted in her acquiring a Bachelor of Science Degree. In 1985, after working as a research assistant for Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) on a project about the history of whaling, Moira started to work as a volunteer at the New England Aquarium, studying North Atlantic right whales in the Bay of Fundy, Canada. After working with and studying these whales for ten years, Moira made the decision to return to university yet again: This time, she was in pursuit of a Doctorate Degree from the University of Guelph in Ontario.〔(Moira Brown: Portrait )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Moira Brown」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
