Abstract
Using passive acoustic monitoring, the authors surveyed for the presence of arctic marine mammals near Ulukhaktok, Northwest Territories. Their surveys determined the presence of bowhead and beluga whales and bearded and ringed seals at various times throughout the year. These results begin to establish patterns of vocalizations for these species in the area, and can serve as baseline data to compare future monitoring to.
