The data in this dataset represent animal sightings and boat tracks during
offshore surveys beginning in April 2015 through December 2021 off the coast
of Virginia.
Seventy days of offshore surveys were completed between 04/12/2015 –
10/24/2021. Work was performed under HDR task orders TO 03, TO 54, TO 35,
TO18F4082, and TO20F4031 (IDIQ contract award N62470-15-D-8006, NAVFAC
LANT).Please contact data provider2023-11-07: Sightings in Jan ~ Oct 2022 were appended.
Survey tracklines (aggregated over time) are available online and included
