    Metadata Updated: August 27, 2024

    Whale Ecology Study (ARCWEST)/Chukchi Acoustics, Oceanography, and Zooplankton Study-extension (CHAOZ-X) cruise took place on board the R/V Aquila.The ARCWEST study has five component projects: visual observation, satellite tagging, passive acoustics, lower trophic level sampling, and physical oceanographic sampling. The overall goal of this multi-year IA is to use passive acoustic recorder deployments, visual and passive acoustic surveys, and satellite tagging to explore the distribution and movements of baleen whales in the Bering and Chukchi Seas, particularly the Chukchi Sea planning areas. In addition, oceanographic and lower trophic level sampling and moorings will be used to explore the relationships between currents passing through the Bering Strait and resources delivered to the Barrow Arch area (an area of high bowhead whale and prey concentrations between Wainwright and Smith Bay), and the dynamic nature of those relationships relative to whale distribution and habitat utilization in the eastern Chukchi and extreme western Beaufort Seas.
