<span style="color:#006400">'''PITMAN, Robert L. '''</span> (    -    ) was a seabird biologist and marine ecologist for NOAA Fisheries at the Southwest Fisheries Science Center in the Marine Mammal and Turtle Division.

Pitman stated his research interests on the NOAA website:
"I have been studying seabirds and cetaceans since 1976, and marine turtles and flying fish since 1986. My interests include biogeography, foraging ecology, evolutionary biology, and general ecology. I spend between 6 and 8 months each year in the field, mostly at sea in pelagic ecosystems, on research vessels of all kinds. These have taken me to the tropical Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic oceans, Antarctic waters, and the Bering Sea. Currently my main interest is Antarctic killer whale ecology and systematic."
