Likelihood of Presence of Bottlenose Whales in Area Response Planning Pilot Areas

Likelihood of Presence of Bottlenose Whales in the Bay of Fundy and the Port Hawkesbury Area Response Plan. The Coastal Oceanography and Ecosystem Research section (DFO Science) reviewed reported opportunistic whale sightings and local knowledge sources to estimate areas where Northern Bottlenose Whales are seasonally present and delineate these areas.

A version of this dataset was created for the National Environmental Emergency Center (NEEC) following their data model and is available for download in the Resources section.

This layer should be used as an indicator of likelihood of presence during response planning and is not recommended for any other uses. The data reported to the Whale Sightings Database is reported opportunistically, from vessels that voluntarily report sightings. In many cases the identification of the species is not done by trained observers, which can lead to low confidence in the reported data. This layer should not be construed as the extent of Northern Bottlenose Whale range.
