Erich Hoyt is a cetacean researcher, lecturer and author. As a commentator and consultant on wildlife, nature, science, conservation, and the environment, he has worked in a wide range of media and in scientific forums and has advised international environmental organisations and various governments. He is currently Senior Research Fellow with WDCS, the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society and CoDirector of the Far East Russia Orca Project. In 2006, he was appointed to the Cetacean Specialist Group of the IUCN Species Survival Commission (5-year term). He is also Director of Marine Mammals for the non-profit educational resource www.MarineBio.org and serves on the nominating committee of the Pew Fellowships in Marine Conservation. Hoyt has written more than 450 scientific and popular articles and reports on cetaceans as well as on other wildlife and environmental topics. Since researching and writing The Whale Watcher's Handbook (Doubleday, Penguin, 1984), he has become an authority on whale watching, serving as a consultant for the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society, Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF-International), the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), and for the British, German, and Australian governments. He helped frame the debate within the International Whaling Commission through papers and reports for the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society and to the IWC Scientific Committee. He was on the steering committee of the seminal Workshop on the Scientific Aspects of Managing Whale Watching in Italy in 1995 and assisted with several of the succeeding workshops. He helped organize the IFAW workshop and edited the subsequent report on the Socioeconomic Aspects of Whale Watching, held in Kaikoura, New Zealand in 1997. In 2000 he researched and wrote the 160-page report Whale Watching 2001: Worldwide Tourism Numbers, Expenditures, and Expanding Socioeconomic Benefits, an update of his previous work for WDCS, which has been widely used and cited (in the New York Times, the Economist, the FT, and the Times, as well as in many scientific papers). Hoyt's work on whale watching and marine ecotourism has also led to his interest in marine protected areas (MPAs). In 1992, at the IV World Parks Congress in Caracas, Venezuela, he presented a paper on approaches to cetacean habitat conservation. Since 1996, he has worked on a long-term project to research and report on the world's proposed and existing marine protected areas with cetacean habitat (funded by WDCS, the John Ellerman Foundation, and other sponsors). The result of this long-term project is the comprehensive book, Marine Protected Areas for Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises, published January 2005 by Earthscan, London. It is a handbook for marine habitat conservation (for planners, managers, environment ministries, researchers, NGOs and others) which will be used to further conservation efforts in coastal and island countries around the world. The book's release was celebrated by the publication of a large A0 poster-map designed by Hoyt and mapmaker Lesley Frampton. The poster, which supplements the book, shows the location, extent and current status of more than 500 MPAs and sanctuaries worldwide with cetacean
