Figure 1. Summary map of the CCC-PAM March 2023 Survey. Sightings of marine mammals are represented by colored circles. Circumference of the circle corresponds to the number of animals sighted. The white squares represent the start of the acoustic drifting buoys and the white triangle represents the end of the drifts. The white stars represent moored listening stations. Figure 1.
