This dataset contains a collection of 13 known point locations of green sea turtles identified through direct human observation via aerial surveys between March and April of 1995. Dr. Joseph Mobley of the Marine Mammal Research Consultants (MMRC) led aerial surveys for turtles and cetaceans in Hawaiian waters from 1993-2003.

This dataset contains a collection of known point locations of Blainville's beaked whales identified either via automated satellite tracking of tagged organisms or through direct human observation via shipborne and aerial surveys. This can be useful for assessing species abundance, population structure, habitat use, and behavior. This collection is aggregated from multiple data sources and survey periods listed below. Each data point contains attributes for further information about the time and source of the observation.

This dataset contains a collection of known point locations of Cuvier's beaked whales identified through direct human observation via shipborne and aerial surveys. This can be useful for assessing species abundance, population structure, habitat use, and behavior. This collection is aggregated from multiple data sources and survey periods listed below. Each data point contains attributes for further information about the time and source of the observation.

This dataset contains one known point location of the elusive Longman's beaked whale identified through direct human observation via shipborne survey in 2007. Cascadia Research Collective (CRC) has been undertaking surveys for odontocetes in Hawaiian waters since 2000.

This dataset contains a collection of two known point locations of fin whales identified through direct human observation via shipborne and aerial surveys in 2012 and 1998, respectively. This collection is aggregated from multiple data sources and survey periods listed below. Each data point contains attributes for further information about the time and source of the observation. This dataset was compiled by the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) and may be updated in the future if additional data sources are acquired.

This dataset contains a collection of known point locations of humpback whales identified through direct human observation via shipborne and aerial surveys. This can be useful for assessing species abundance, population structure, habitat use, and behavior. This collection is aggregated from multiple data sources and survey periods listed below.
