To estimate the migratory timing of humpback whales observed off Nicaragua, photographic recaptures of individuals were pooled per month for each previously defined breeding and feeding ground. Migratory timing is defined as the spatial and temporal location of recaptures, which allows to understand where and when humpback whales observed off Nicaragua are located. Monthly recaptures were plotted on QGIS 3.22.573 using the countpoint in polygon and the centroid tool. Photographic recaptures were pooled per month and mapped accordingly.
