    Pilot whales surface near the NATO Research Vessel Alliance during the Biological and Behavioral Studies of Marine Mammals in the Western Mediterranean Sea study. This multinational study, which focused on marine mammal behavioral patterns and habitats, was primarily sponsored by the U.S. Navy and the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program. Researchers affixed monitoring tags to two pilot whales, and acoustically monitored beaked whales and other marine mammals to learn more about their basic biology.
