- Abstract
Marine mammals and sea turtles were documented as part of a monitoring and mitigation program during a seismic study offshore (~250 km) from Vancouver island, British Columbia, during August-September 2009. Forty-one marine mammals in nine groups were sighted. Dall's Porpoise (Phocoenoides dalli) was the most frequently sighted species. A Sperm Whale (Physeter macrocephalus), a pod of Pacific White-sided Dolphins (Lagenorhynchus obliquidens), an unidentified toothed whale, a Northern Elephant Seal (Mirounga angustirostris), and a leatherback Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) were also observed. These data augment current knowledge on the occurrence of marine mammals and sea turtles in the offshore waters of British Columbia.
