Beluga Whale Distribution & Migration
Beluga Whale Distribution Map
The beluga is found in the Arctic and subarctic waters of
Russia, Alaska, Canada and Greenland. Some belugas migrate as
the ice forms and retract each year in the Arctic. In the
North Pacific, belugas are found in the Bering Sea, the Gulf
of Alaska (Cook Inlet), and the Sea of Okhotsk (Reeves et al.
2002). About 400 animals reside in Cook Inlet, Alaska. This
population has was once found
from Cook
Inlet to Yakutat Bay, but it is now restricted to Cook Inlet.
