A total of 2,242 km of trackline were surveyed with 364 cetacean sightings (1,079 individuals). An additional 28 cetacean sightings were made (175 individuals) during off effort periods. Species included harbor porpoise, Dalls porpoise, Pacific white-sided dolphins, killer whales, minke whales, fin whales, humpback whales, sperm whales, Baird.s beaked whales, and Cuviers beaked whales. See link for details: http://www.afsc.noaa.gov/Quarterly/jas2003/divrptsNMML2.htm. The primary objective was to document the distribution of cetacean species occurring on the shelf of the Gulf of Alaska and to collect line-transect data for abundance estimation of cetacean species. completed Clapham, Phillip phillip.clapham@noaa.gov pointOfContact Waite, Janice 206-526-6554 7600 Sand Point Way, NE Seattle WA 98115-6349 janice.waite@noaa.gov custodian notPlanned abundance distribution line-transect survey theme summer temporal Gulf of Alaska place DOC/NOAA/NMFS/AFSC > Alaska Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
