Fisheries and Oceans Canada provides a geospatial dataset identifying areas of high residency for the St. Lawrence beluga whale population. The analysis combines fine-scale individual radio-tracking data from 2001 to 2005 with coarser, short-term herd visual tracking data from 1989 to 2008. High residency areas are defined based on net displacement speed thresholds of herds.
Data is subject to the Open Government Licence - Canada (ca-ogl-lgo). The provided description notes that high residency areas are not associated with specific biological functions and their boundaries are sensitive to analysis criteria.
