Summary
Abstract: The Ocean Biogeographic Information System - Spatial Ecological Analysis of Megavertabrate Populations (OBIS-SEAMAP) is a spatially referenced database of data related to marine mammals, birds and turtles. This project is one of several nodes comprising the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS).

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: Data correction 03/08/06 Humback whale was mistakenly linked to Balaenidae (180531). It is now linked to Megaptera novaeangliae (180530). In addition to the sighting data, effort data was recorded every half hour or whenever conditions change. This dataset, therefore, should be used with the effort data.
