Predicting summer fin whale distribution in the Pelagos Sanctuary (north‐western Mediterranean Sea) to identify dynamic whale–vessel collision risk areas
Abstract Mediterranean fin whales aggregating in the Pelagos Sanctuary in summer to feed are exposed to vessel collision risk, particularly from high‐speed ferries. This study developed models to predict summer fin whale distribution using a generalized additive model (GAM) and MaxEnt, with the aim...
