A research team aboard the Mike Reigle studies whale behavior off San Francisco. Focusing on how boats influence whale interactions, they stop at five sites to record underwater acoustic samples over thirty minutes while observing nearby boats. So far, the data collection serves as their primary goal, contributing to understanding whale migrations in this busy area. Despite the foggy weather, the team maintains an upbeat attitude, with contributions from local conservationists and scientists, appreciating the unique environment of San Francisco's waters.
The project focuses on understanding how boat interactions affect whale behavior, by collecting acoustic samples and observing wildlife in a heavily-trafficked area.
Melissa Schouest reflected on the hidden beauty of San Francisco's waters, suggesting that deeper exploration reveals many awe-inspiring elements.
