Abstract
A program studying high frequency acoustics was established in the mid-1990’s by the Office of Naval Research that is still going on and has evolved into a substantial basic and applied research initiative to study many areas, including underwater communication. This abstract explains the genesis of that program, and Joe Blue’s involvement in making it happen. During the course of the initial experiments under that program, a series of issues were raised dealing with the effects of acoustic transmissions on marine mammals. Again, Joe was a key person in resolving those issues, which could have brought the program to a halt. His insight into the technical problems, as well as, his calm nature helped to bring an excellent new program in acoustic research into being.
