        abstract:  In 1991, NMML initiated cetacean studies with vessel coverage throughout inland waters of Southeast Alaska. Between 1991 and 1993, line-transect methodology was used to: 1) obtain population estimates of both harbor porpoise and Dalls porpoise, 2) establish a baseline for detecting trends in porpoise abundance, and 3) define porpoise distributional patterns and seasonality. Three line-transect surveys were carried out each year spanning spring, summer, and fall. To update abundance and trends for both harbor porpoise and Dalls porpoise, NMML once again initiated line-transect surveys in 2006 (spring and summer), 2007 (spring, summer and fall), 2010 (summer and fall), 2011 (summer and fall), and 2012 (summer) using methods comparable to those used in the early 1990s.
        purpose:  Assess cetacean distribution, group size, seasonal occurrence, abundance and population trends.

            description:  Updated information from ICES for the vessel Medeia from UNITED STATES. Name : Medeia Flag : UNITED STATES - US (ISO Country Code) Call Sign : WDE6486 Platform Class : Research vessel Current Length : 31.9 Built : 1982 Notes : MMSI 367380860 Additional Information Sources: - http://www.itu.int/online/mms/mars/ship_detail.sh?lang=en&1923031&MEDEIA - http://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/pls/webpls/cgv_pkg.vessel_id_list?vessel_id_in=653322 General Comments: Some web sites give the IMO as 653322. IMOs have 7 digits so this is not correct. 653322 has been found as a US Coastguard document number for this vessel. Confirmed by NOAA on 2012-12-14. Submitted to ICES on 2011-07-27.
