This project proposes boat surveys to photo-identify known Grey Whale (Pacific Coast Feeding Group; PCFG) and document their use of habitat in Canadian waters, investigate their diet, and develop body condition measurement methods using drone technology. PCFGs’ use of diverse foraging strategies and habitats may have provided resilience to past climate change, and thus understanding this plasticity will provide key information about how future ecosystem changes (e.g., climate, prey) may affect Grey Whales. |
