Three decades of nearshore surveys reveal long-term patterns in gray whale habitat use, distribution, and abundance in the Northern California Current
The nearshore waters of the Northern California Current support an important seasonal
foraging ground for Pacific Coast Feeding Group (PCFG) gray whales. We examine gray …
