Principal Investigator: Norton, Pamela
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To examine white whale use of offshore areas during and after the period of "peak" numbers; to document whale distribution and abundance; to record movements and feeding; to determine percent calves in the population and to compare white whale distribution with major oceanographic features depicted in satellite imagery and with industrial activities....

Principal Investigator: Stewart, D. Bruce
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To conduct an aquatic resource survey to gather, update and compile information on fish resources and human usage of those resources. Fish will be collected and samples of water, benthic and planktonic organisms, and shoreline vegetation will also be collected for analysis....

Principal Investigator: Green, John M.
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To further investigate the abundance and distribution patterns of benthic fishes to provide a better basis for understanding variations in the foraging behaviour and reproductive success of the black guillemots. Underwater observations will be made on benthic fishes and some specimens will be collected for analysis of their food habits, growth rates and fecundity....
