For years, GREMM\u2019s research assistants had boarded whale-watching vessels operated by AML, Essipit and Les \u00c9cumeurs in order to carry out monitoring of large rorquals<\/a>. This approach helped reduce the number of boats operating in proximity to the whales, limit the pressure on them and reduce monitoring costs.
