Whales of the Canadian Arctic, with emphasis on belugas of Manitoba

The presentation will give an overview of the whale species found in the Canadian Arctic waters, with emphasis on the year-round Arctic residents, including Northern Manitoba belugas. I will talk about the general ecology and conservation of those species and cover some of the challenges that they have experienced historically or that they may experience in the future.
