Cetacean Abundance Survey (DE0410, EK500)
The right whale and cetacean survey primarily focuses on right whales in the coastal
and continental shelf areas, with the following objectives: 1) Develop a better understanding
of right whale habitat use and site fidelity for abundance and monitoring of critical
areas, 2) Determine the distribution and relative abundance of plankton and prey species,
3) When possible, collect identification photographs and biopsy samples.
