Summary
Abstract:
Aerial surveys were flown in parallel lines from the SC/NC border to the south end of Assateague Island, VA from Oct 2005 to April 2006. All large whale, small cetaceans, sea turtles and large fish, and ship sightings were recorded. Surveys were conducted in BSS of 5 or under and in clear weather conditions. Photos of all large whales exist in the VAB LAB photo data base at UNCW. UNCW houses a data base that now extends from 1998 to 2006 for aerial surveys conducted in the mid-Atlantic and SE Atlantic bight.
Purpose: To conduct systematic aerial surveys for large whales, specifically targeting right whales, during the fall, winter and spring off NC and VA.
