Comparing the Foraging Efficiency of Beaked Whales On and Off Naval Ranges

Abstract

The long-term goal of this project is to contribute to an overall understanding of the influence threat-induced disturbance has on the population health of beaked whales on and off naval ranges. By gathering and analyzing data on foraging performance and efficiency this project will provide detailed energetics data for modeling approaches assessing population level effects.
