SWFSC Cetacean Acoustic Detection and Dive Interval Studies (1601)

The project focused on two potential approaches to improve abundance estimates of long-diving whales: (1) acoustic detection of diving animals, and (2) collecting dive interval data on those species to serve as a basis for a model-based abundance correction factor.

This dataset provides the time-date and geographical coordinates, by species/stock, of all cetaceans detected during the survey, as well as the daily and intra-daily start and end points of the line-transect survey.
