MMS seeks to expand the existing assessments of Gulf sperm whales and to improve the understanding of effects of seismic exploration on them. The objectives of this study were to (1) establish the normal behavior of sperm whales in the northern Gulf, (2) characterize sperm whale habitat use in the northern Gulf, and (3) determine possible changes in behavior of sperm whales when subjected to man-made noise, particularly from seismic airgun arrays used for offshore petroleum exploration and geological monitoring.
