The Great South Channel region contains unusually abundant                 populations of three endangered whale species: right, humpback and              fin whales.  The South Channel Ocean Productivity Experiment                    (SCOPEX) will look at the physical oceanographic and                            biological/ecological mechanisms responsible for these aggregations.            Using both aerial and ship-based surveys, the distribution and                  abundance of right whales in the region will be determined.                     Detailed distributional and behavioral observations of these                    animals, including data from intensive sonar and radio-tagging                  studies will provide tests of hypotheses on how the aggregations                form and are maintained.  The proposed research in the circulation              in the Great South Channel region will provide information necessary            to interpreting the mechanism of aggregation in the consumers and               primary producers in this important area.
