Marine Mammals and Sea Turtle Census
Entry ID:
gomc_25
Summary
Abstract:
Research is an essential part of wildlife conservation. Canada is a
vast country with a multitude of different species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects. Scientists can't possibly keep track of each and every wildlife population, and it takes a huge amount of time and effort to gather all the information needed to protect them. A lot of conservation organizations rely on the assistance of Canadians coast to coast to determine the state of our wildlife species. Data collected from far and wide help scientists determine which species and ecosystems are in trouble, find ways of conserving them, or prevent them from getting in trouble in the first place. You can do your part by getting involved in one of the many wildlife surveys Purpose: To gather information on whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals, and sea turtles plus their numbers and habitat in order to better understand the marine environment. Sample Site Locations: The waters and shores of Atlantic Canada Season: Year-round Additional Information/Comments: Contact Jerry Conway for data. Geographic Coverage
