Distribution and Demographics of Marine Mammals in SOCAL through Photo-Identification, Genetics, and Satellite Telemetry: A Summary of Surveys Conducted 1 July 2011 - 15 June 2012
Results from the second year of a three-year project investigating the distribution, demographics, and behavior of cetaceans in the US Navy's Southern California operational area are summarized. Eighteen small vessel surveys for cetaceans, which included species verification tests in conjunctio...
