EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During AL0404
Right Whale and Cetacean Abundance Spring Survey (AL0404, EK60). 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.
