Baseline Monitoring

What is the Purpose of Baseline Monitoring?

To monitor population data of various marine mammals and resource extraction industries to inform marine policy and management.

In addition to Habitat Monitoring, we also examine the other factors that impact Salmon populations; the population of competing species, and commercial / sport fishing.

Population Research

  • Pinnipeds: e.g., haul out population counts through the use of drones

  • Cetaceans: e.g., line transects, photo identification

  • Salmon: e.g., fish counters, eDNA

  • Relationships between different species and how transient killer whale populations impact seal and sea lion populations

We monitor the population counts of mammals within SRKW habitat and publish the results below:
