Description

Original provider: Marine Conservation Research Dataset credits: Oliver Boisseau, Marine Conservation Research International Abstract: The dataset contains sperm whale acoustic detections made during the MAPS winter cruise in Jan/Feb 2019 (NMFS permit 14809). Each datapoint represents an acoustic detection of an individual sperm whale. Purpose: The MAPS (Marine Mammal Passive Acoustics and Spatial Ecology) cruises form part of a BOEM project to describe the distribution and behaviour of deep-diving cetaceans in the offshore waters of North Carolina (NMFS permit 14809). MAPS is a cooperative agreement between the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and the University of North Carolina Wilmington in partnership with Duke University. Supplemental information: Visual sightings made in the same survey and survey tracklines are available at http://seamap.env.duke.edu/dataset/1999
