Current Population Trend
Northern bottlenose whales are characterized as extremely uncommon or rare in waters of the U.S. Atlantic Exclusive Economic Zone. The two sightings of three individuals constituted less than 0.1 % of the 11,156 cetacean sightings in the 1978-82 CeTAP surveys. Both sightings were in the spring, alon...
