Pacific white-sided dolphins are often found in groups of over several hundred individuals and are one of the most acrobatic species of dolphin. Participants will work under the guidance of our researcher conducting boat surveys aboard our 55-foot motor vessel, collecting data on the ecology, behavior and habitat use of dolphins, whales and seabirds. Monterey Submarine Canyon and adjacent canyons support one of the highest diversities of marine mammals in the world. This expedition offers a special opportunity to observe a diversity of marine mammals, and seabirds, while contributing to a scientific project. Our research activities are vessel-based, and we can expect to avereage eight hours daily at sea and on the bay.
Accommodations are at a comfortable lodge in double and triple occupancy rooms.
