Cover image

Blue whale sightings have been monitored in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (GSL) by the Mingan Island Cetacean Study (MICS) since 1979. More than 400 individuals with a heterogeneous GSL distribution have been identified to date. This report aims to qualitatively describe the distribution, dispersal, and relative abundance of blue whales on temporal and spatial scales. Information gathered on humpback whales is also described.
