Original provider: NOAA Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) Dataset credits: Southeast Fisheries Science Center, NOAA Abstract: A winter marine mammals survey in Gulf of Mexico was conducted in 1993 by NOAA Southeast Fisheries Science Center to examine the distribution and estimate abundance of cetaceans in U.S. waters. The survey was followed by a similar spring survey in 1993. This dataset contains sightings of not only cetaceans but also other species including sea turtles, fish and shark observed during the ship survey. During the 31 survey days, 10 species were sighted, including Atlantic spotted dolphin Clymene dolphin Melon-headed whale Pantropical spotted dolphin Pygmy sperm whale Short/Long-finned pilot whale Sperm whale Standard Bottlenose dolphin Striped dolphin The dataset is accompanied by transect data which is provided as a separate file. Purpose: The purpose of this survey is to examine the distribution and estimate abundance of cetaceans in U.S. waters. Specific objectives of this survey are: 1. Complete a line transect survey of the study area for marine mammals during daylight hours following prescribed transects. 2. Collect ichthyoplankton samples for the Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP) during the non-daylight hours using neuston, bongo and Tucker trawls. 3. Obtain associated environmental and oceanographic data. Supplemental information: [2020-09-30] The following invalid species names were corrected according to the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS). Bonaparte's Gull: Larus philadelphia (176839) => Chroicocephalus philadelphia (824040) Laughing Gull: Larus atricilla (176837) => Leucophaeus atricilla (824079) Royal Tern: Sterna maxima (176922) => Thalasseus maximus (824142) Sooty Tern: Sterna fuscata (176894) => Onychoprion fuscatus (824105)Purpose
