Humpback Whale Monitoring in Glacier Bay and Adjacent Waters: 2013. Annual Progress Report.

摘要

Migratory endangered humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) from the Central North Pacific stock use southeastern Alaska as summer feeding habitat, including the waters in and around Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve (GLBA). This report summarizes the findings of GLBA’s humpback whale monitoring program in 2013, the twenty-ninth consecutive year of consistent data collection in Glacier Bay and Icy Strait (GB-IS).
