Summary:
To document the behaviour and distribution of marine mammals in respones to underwater pre-recorded vessel noise and ice-breaking noise; examine the normal behaviour of marine mammals and responses to playback recordings of their own signals. The marine mammals for which these study objectives are primarily aimed at are narwhal, beluga, and bowhead whales....
