Whale Sail 2002: Field Studies of Wild Whale and Dolphin Behavior

The focus of the program will be to conduct a study of feeding ecology of Right Whales in the Atlantic ö from Maine to Nova Scotia (Northern Gulf of Maine and southern reaches of the Bay of Fundy), depending upon the location and activity of whales.

Following a five-day shore component of lectures and demonstrations, we will sail aboard the double-masted schooner ö the Harvey Gamage ö for three weeks, documenting the locations of right whales, humpback whales, fin whales, and minke whales. We will most certainly see other species of whales and dolphins, but our surveys will focus on the more regularly observed baleen whales. The program will be a combined effort of Southampton Graduate Campus and the Center for Coastal Studies in Provincetown, Mass.
