The study area was the northern end of the Gulf of California south to about 30.8 degrees north latitude. A line-transect survey of the deeper water of the study area was conducted by the NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center aboard the NOAA ship David Starr Jordan in October and November 2008. 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. more The primary objective was to collect data to estimate the abundance vaquita, or Gulf of California harbor porpoise.This dataset is supplemental to the following datasets: SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, Vaquita 1997, Cruise 1608 Scope Themes: Biology > Mammals, Biology > Reptiles Keywords: Marine/Coastal, ISE, Mexico, California Gulf, Cetacea, Testudines Geographical coverage ISE, Mexico, California Gulf [Marine Regions] Temporal coverage 16 October 2008 - 25 November 2008 Parameter Occurrence of biota Contributors National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; Fisheries Service; Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC), more, data creator Related datasets Published in: OBIS-SEAMAP: Spatial Ecological Analysis of Megavertebrate Populations, more Dataset status: Completed Data type: Data Data origin: Research: field survey Metadatarecord created: 2015-04-16 Information last updated: 2015-04-22 | ||||
