Summary

Abstract

Marine mammals depicted as polygons in the Prince William Sound atlas include whales and sea otters. High concentration areas for whales are depicted in the atlas. Although only certain high concentration areas are depicted, whales are highly mobile species, and can occur throughout most of the waters of Prince William Sound. Humpback and killer whales are common residents of the sound, but other species of whales are also seen in the sound. Gray whales are most commonly found in the migration corridor along the outer coast, but they may occasionally be found in the sound. For sea otters, concentrations are shown where surveys have been conducted. Sea otters are present all year throughout the sound. Many of the whales included in this atlas are protected as threatened or endangered species, and all marine mammals are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.
