Principal Investigator (PI): Graham Worthy (University of Central Florida)

Managing Agency: NOAA

Assisting Personnel: Alan Abend

Research Location: Prince William Sound

Restoration Category: Monitoring

Injured Resources Addressed: Harbor Seals, Killer Whales

Abstract: This project continues the monitoring of the damaged AB pod and other Prince William Sound killer whales that has occurred on a yearly basis since 1984. It develops a GIS database on killer whales that when coupled with genetic and acoustic data will help evaluate recovery, recognize changes in behavior, and estimate killer whale impact on harbor seals.
