Beluga Whale Observation Reports

Sightings and observations

Beluga Whale Management is part of the mandate for the CTA-EMR and so it is important that our community members continue to contact their respective EMR Local Officers and complete a detailed Beluga Whale Observation Report for each sighting of individual whales, or groups of whales, as they are very social mammals. These observation reports will be used to better understand distribution patterns, to monitor population numbers and to identify critical habitat. This knowledge will guide future management plans to conserve our local Eeyou Marine Region wildlife. All reports are submitted to the EMRWB for Federal Records.
