The study is the latest piece in a puzzle scientists are trying to solve about why the endangered population of Cook Inlet belugas is not rebounding.
Trained beluga monitor Kelly Hild, of Kasilof, watches for belugas on the bluff in Kenai in March 2022.
“Getting that demographic piece in place and understanding that helps us to get closer to identifying what might be the external factors that are limiting their recovery,” she said. Himes Boor and her team used photos of individual belugas to chart trends in the population as a whole. And what they found was whales weren’t giving birth at rates they would expect from healthier populations. She said while belugas in healthy populations gave birth every two to three years, Cook Inlet belugas were reproducing every four.
