Researcher Rui Santos studies whale migration between Azores and Quebec

Portuguese researcher Rui Santos is conducting studies on large marine mammals, focusing on their distribution and migratory patterns. His work involves comparing observations between the Azores and the Côte-Nord region in Quebec, Canada.

Santos has visited the Côte-Nord annually since 2018 to study cetaceans. His research highlights the significant migratory distances traveled by these animals, noting that specific individuals, such as blue whales, have been identified in both the Saint Lawrence River and the waters of the Azores.
