The study area, covering approximately 13,300 nm, was from Port Clyde, Maine to St. John, New Brunswick over to the Nova Scotian coast, up to Liverpool, Nova Scotia. The primary objectives were: 1) Estimate the abundance of harbor porpoises in the Gulf of Maine - Bay of Fundy - Nova Scotia area; and 2) Investigate if there are any spatial distribution patterns of the harbor porpoises, and if those patterns are correlated with water depth or harbor porpoise group size. The secondary objectives were: 1) Estimate the abundance and spatial distribution of other cetaceans; 2) Determine if harbor porpoise avoid this ship, and if so, at what distance; 3) Determine if there is a spatial distribution pattern of mother-calf pairs of harbor porpoise; 4) Compare the abundance estimate and spatial distribution of harbor porpoise as seen this year with that seen in previous years; 5) Investigate if inland bays can be surveyed using a rigidhull inflatable boat as the observation platform in a line transect survey; and 6) Determine if Buckland's sighting procedure (1991), which is a line transect survey using both a primary and marking team, is a feasible procedure to estimate the abundance of harbor porpoise in the Bay of Fundy area. In addition to the sighting data, effort data was recorded every half hour or whenever conditions change. This dataset, therefore, should be used with the effort data.

When an animal group was detected the following factors were recorded (in order of importance): 1) time of the sighting recorded to the nearest second, which was kept track of by a Sharp PC-1600 pocket computer, 2) species composition of the group, 3) radial distance between the ship and where the group was originally detected, as estimated visually, 4) bearing between the line of sight to the group and the trackline as measured by a polaris mounted in front of each sighting position, 5) best, high and low estimate of the group size, 6) direction of swim, 7) presence of any mother-calf pairs, 8) initial sighting cue, and 9) any comments on unusual markings or behavior.
