Data provided by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
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.
Cascadia Research Collective (CRC) has been undertaking shipborne surveys for cetaceans in Hawaiian waters since 2000. In addition, Dr. Joseph Mobley of the Marine Mammal Research Consultants (MMRC) led aerial surveys for cetaceans in Hawaiian waters from 1993-2003.
