Summary: | Effort-corrected encounter rates of fin whales in the Kitimat Fjord System, for (A–B) surveys along planned routes, 2005–2014 (see S1 Fig in S1 File for effort), and (C) line transect sampling, 2013–2015 (see S1 Fig in S1 File for effort). In A and B, rates are binned spatially using the blocking from Keen et al. (2017). In C, binning was based upon the strata used in density estimation (S6 Table in S1 File ). The color scale in each map is scaled by the maximum observed by the respective research platform. Pink coloration indicates no survey effort.
