Summary
Abstract:
Database containing published information from scientific papers and reports of whales, dolphins and porpoises in the Atlantic Ocean, Magellanic region and South Pacific Ocean. Peripheral records from farther offshore include reported sightings in Malvinas/Falkland Islands, Drake Passage and the South Shetland islands. ... Distribution at near shore waters of open coast sheltered fjords, bays
and river mouths. Different records encompassing counting, sighting and

programs focused on different taxonomy groups were develop more regularly since
1980.
