Identification of habitats important to the blue whale in the western North Atlantic .: Fs70-6/2018-003E-PDF
"The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) assessed the Atlantic blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) population as Endangered in 2002, and reaffirmed this status in 2012. The Species at Risk Program has requested Science advice on available information and the current state of knowledge about the habitat of blue whales in the northwest Atlantic. Specifically, the best available information on the habitat requirements of the population was requested, including a description of the habitat properties needed for successful completion of the life cycle processes necessary for survival and recovery of blue whales, a description of the functions, features and attributes of this habitat, the spatial extent of the areas likely to have these habitat properties, and the activities likely to destroy these habitat properties in the areas identified"--Context, p. [1].
