Summary
Abstract: The survey was conducted on the NOAA DeHavilland Twin Otter DHC-6,
Series 300 aircraft from 19 July to 16 August 2002. The flights were based out
of Otis Airbase from 19 July to 02 August 2002, and based out of Hancock
County/Bar Harbor Airport in Trenton, Maine from 02 August to 16 August 2002.
The southern border of the study area was south of Long Island, NY, the
northern border was in the Bay of Fundy north of St. John, New Brunswick, the
western border was the US coast line, and the eastern border was about 64.5°W
(west of Halifax, Nova Scotia).

Purpose: The primary objective of this survey is to determine the feasibility
of the Circle-back method that estimates abundance of cetaceans and turtles
which includes an estimate of g(0), the probability of detecting a group on the
track line. First, the practice issues of conducting the survey in the field
will be assessed, then the analytical issues will be investigated after the
data are collected. ... View entire text
