Passive Acoustic Monitoring for North Atlantic Right Whales at Cape Hatteras, NC, using Marine Autonomous Recording Units. 2015 Annual Report

About

The objectives of this project are to investigate the timing of right whale migration through the Mid-Atlantic region, as well as the relative distance from shore and acoustic behavior of migrating whales. This effort will help to fill a data gap in the central portion of the migratory corridor, and contribute to a broader understanding of the seasonal occurrence of right whales along the U.S. east coast.
