EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During HB1403
AMAPPS-Cetacean and Turtle Abundance Summer Survey (HB1403, 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.
