| Description: |
Humpback whale use of areas off eastern Canada is poorly understood, a knowledge gap that could impact future conservation efforts. Here, the authors of this journal article describe the acoustic occurrence of humpback whales in and around the Gully Marine Protected Area (MPA), an eastern Scotian Shelf submarine canyon. Near-continuous acoustic recordings sampling at 16 kHz were collected from the MPA and nearby slope areas from October 2012 to September 2014 using near-bottom recorders.
