AMAPPS-Cetacean and Turtle Abundance Summer Survey (HB1303, EK60)
The AMAPPS survey will primarily focus on beaked whale species, with the following
objectives: 1) Develop a better understanding of beaked whale habitat use and site
fidelity for abundance and monitoring of critical areas, 2) Quantify efficacy of
passive acoustic monitoring for detection and abundance of these species, through
controlled methodological tests and in comparison to a bottom-mounted recorders (AMAR),
3) Determine the distribution and relative abundance of plankton and prey species,
4) When possible, collect identification photographs and biopsy samples.
