CWOP is an international cooperative initiative coordinated by Jaime Bolaños (Venezuela), Angiolina Henríquez (Aruba) and Jolanda Luksenburg (The Netherlands) that includes participation of marine mammalogists and researchers working on killer whales in the Caribbean SeaThe purpose of CWOP is centralize, analize and publish all available information on orcas sightings and records in the Caribbean SeaThis dataset includes various types of data (sightings from boats and aerial surveys, takes and strandings).<br/><br/>
