EK500 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During DE0007
AWARE Sonar and Sperm Whale Tagging (DE0007, EK500). The AWARE sonar and sperm whale
tagging cruise primarily focuses on whales in the continental shelf areas, with the
following objectives: 1) Develop a better understanding of 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.
