NMML Killer Whale Vessel Survey, Kodiak Island, 1993

From 13 July to 24 August, 1993, a part of a larger study, the waters surrounding the Kodiak Island were surveyed for killer whales (Orcinus orca) from the NOAA Glorita using line transect methodology. To provide adequate coverage throughout the area, the study was limited to areas of known killer whale concentrations. The vessel was 44.8 m (147 ft) long and had a bridge height of 8.8 m (29 feet).
