Cetacean Ecology Survey at North Western Hawaiian Islands (SE1303, EK60). The goal of the cruise was to collect data on the abundance, distribution, stock structure, and habitat of cetaceans in the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument (PMNM) using 7 integrated operations. These operations included visual observations, passive acoustic monitoring, photo-identification, biopsy sampling, satellite tagging, small boat surveys, and oceanography (CTD, Chlorophyll, XBT, and surface samples). A High-frequency Acoustic Recording Package (HARP) was recovered during the cruise.
