We present evidence of bats transiting and foraging over the ocean along nearshore environments in the northern Gulf of Alaska. Acoustic surveys were conducted on 2 sea-based vessels that anchored overnight off the coasts of 2 national parks (July–August 2019). We documented Little Brown Myotis (Myotis lucifugus) transiting and foraging over the ocean at 14 sites within the nearshore zone at an average off-coast distance of 298 m (s = 154). Little Brown Myotis inhabiting coastal habitats in Alaska are utilizing nearshore environments similar to Vespertilionid bats in the North Atlantic.
