Abstract
Features in this feature class represent incidental sightings from vessels between 1965 and 2014.
|
Purpose
N/A
|
Supplemental information
[2018-04-16] Irregular date of 7/15/2065 was corrected to 7/15/1965. A report of an incidental sighting did not require time and thus the time value is a rough indication (e.g. morning). All the US Navy-funded survey datasets are found in the OBIS-SEAMAP US Navy page. |
