Description:

Approaches to determining the status of the harbor porpoise in the Gulf of Maine and the Bay of Fundy were reviewed during a workshop conducted aboard a research vessel in the Bay of Fundy from August 20-23, 1987. Participants alternated between reviewing information relative to the status of these animals and conducting experimental sighting surveys along short transects. The workshop resulted in a clearer understanding of what is known and what data sources exist. It also provided an important first step in developing a research program aimed at determining the status of the harbor porpoise population in this region.
