Non-Grid Mammals
Mammals were sighted occasionally in both non-grid sections, usually singly
or in small groups, but they were not nearly as frequently seen as in the previous
survey. In the northern section the following kinds were logged: Seals, Sea lions,
Porpoise, and Whales. These kinds with the exception of whales were also seen
in the southern section. The most eventful sighting of both non-grid sections
came in the southern part where three Pacific Right Whale Dolphins were well-
observed. These came up to the ship and rode the wake of the bow for twenty
minutes(photographs were taken). The non-grid mammals sighted are summarized
below.
