NOAA Atlantic Cetacean Survey 1999; Sightings
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
An Atlantic Ocean ship survey was conducted by NOAA Southeast Fisheries Science Center in 1999 to evaluate abundance, distribution and stock structure of cetaceans in southeastern U.S. Atlantic waters.
Description
Data gathered on this survey will provide abundance estimates for calculating the Potential Biological Removal for U.S. Atlantic waters as required by the 1994 amendments to the Marine Mammal Protection Act. During the 32 survey days, at least 12 cetacean species were sighted, including Atlantic spotted dolphin Bottlenose dolphin Clymene dolphin Common dolphin Fraser's dolphin Melon-headed whale Pantropical spotted dolphin Pilot whale Risso's dolphin Rough-toothed dolphin Sperm whale Striped dolphin.
The dataset is accompanied by transect data which is provided as a separate file.
