Includes bibliographical references (pages 14-17). "Several marine mammal species on the west coast of Canada are reported as bycatch in fisheries. A provision of the United States (US) Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) requires Canada, as an exporter of fish products, to provide population estimates and rates of incidental mortality from fisheries operations. However, abundance estimates in Canadian Pacific waters are lacking for most cetacean species, especially for the offshore areas, or are too old to meet MMPA requirements. The objectives of the Pacific Region International Survey of Marine Megafauna (PRISMM) were to provide recent abundance estimates and distribution data for large marine species in inshore and offshore waters of the Canadian Pacific"--Abstract, page iv.
