NON-GRID MAMMALS
No marine mammals were seen inside the Channel Islands, and
none were seen on the north portion of the non-grid cruise. On
the south portion most sightings were of seals(10), four of which
were thought to be California Sea Lions. In addition, five Dall
Porpoise, two unidentified porpoise, a single Sperm Whale, and a
Hubb's Beaked Whale were seen. The latter was well viewed at thirty
to fifty feet from the ship. A description and notes were included
on the log sheet.
No other marine mammals were seen on the non-grid cruise.
