The survey was taken place along with Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP) ichthyoplankton survey in coordination with Minerals Management Service. This dataset contains sightings of not only cetaceans but also other species including sea turtles, fish and shark observed during the ship survey.
During the planned 54 survey days, 20 species were sighted, including
Atlantic spotted dolphin
Blainville’s beaked whale
Bryde’s whale
Clymene dolphin
Dwarf sperm whale
Dwarf/pygmy sperm whale
False killer whale
Fraser’s dolphin
Killer whale
Melon-headed whale
Pantropical spotted dolphin
Pygmy killer whale
Risso's dolphin
Rough-toothed dolphin
Short/Long-finned pilot whale
Sperm whale
Spinner dolphin
Standard Bottlenose dolphin
Striped dolphin
The dataset is accompanied by transect data which is provided as a separate file.The purpose of this survey is to examine the distribution and estimate abundance of cetaceans in U.S. waters.
Specific objectives of this survey are:
1. Conduct line transect surveys of marine mammals to study their diversity, distribution and abundance.
2. Collect ichthyoplankton (particularly bluefin tuna eggs and larva) for distribution and abundance determinations.
3. Collect associated environmental data in order to study the factors which may ultimately affect the diversity, distribution and abundance of both ichthyoplankton and marine mammals.
4. Collect biopsy samples of marine mammals for genetic analysis in order to learn about the population structure of selected species.
5. Collect flying fish (Exocoetidae) samples in order to study their diversity and distribution in the Gulf of Mexico.Southeast Fisheries Science Center, Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA1992NOAA Gulf of Mexico Marine Mammal Survey 1992; SightingsGMOC92ovector digital datahttp://seamap.env.duke.edu/datasets/detail/13OBIS-SEAMAPSEFSChttp://seamap.env.duke.edu/OBIS-SEAMAPhttp://www.sefsc.noaa.gov/ground condition1992/4/221992/6/7None planned-96.320200-83.98880029.68280024.468000-96.320200-83.98880024.46800029.682800Marine BiologyAnimalsCetaceansDolphinsWhalesMarine mammalsFishMarine BirdsMarine ReptilesSea turtlesShip SurveyShip surveyObservationSightingTransect surveyCountryUSAFloridaTexasLouisianaMississippiAlabamaUnited States Of America19921992AprilMayJuneGulf of MexicoGulf of MexicoNorthern Gulf of MexicoWestern Gulf of MexicoArcIMS Metadata Server Theme CodesbiotaenvironmentgeoscientificinformationlocationoceansEcological DynamicsEndangered SpeciesBiomassCommunity StructureRange ChangesEnvironmental ImpactsConservationEnvironmental AssessmentsPopulationPopulation DistributionPopulation SizeAquatic SciencesFisheriesOpen public unless otherwise noted.The datasets should be used with the corresponding transects dataset.

Two observers searched for cetaceans using 25X binoculars mounted on the ship's flying bridge. The third observer maintained a search of the area near the ship using 7X binoculars and naked eye and recorded data. Data were recorded on a laptop computer using a BASIC data acquisition program interfaced with a Global Positioning System (GPS).
Marine mammal operations bagan at sunrise and continued until dark.
Data on seabirds and non-passerines encountered by observers while searching for cetaceans were recorded.Integrated Taxonomic Information SystemIntegrated Taxonomic Information

Please refer to Contact Information for details.The dataset contains information necessary to locate the species sightings observed in the survey. The structure of the dataset was defined by NOAA Southeast Fisheries Science Center. Note that the dataset is a subset of the larger, complete dataset collected in the survey which includes environmental information. The columns before LineNo are applied to the shapefile only. The following information is not included in the dataset but will be found in the master data. For details, please contact NOAA Southeast Fisheries Science Center. Track; Speed; GPS Status; Observers; Wind direction; Weather; Sea state; Swell; Visibility; Turbidity; Sunlight; Water depth; Water color; Water temperature; Sighting angle; Effort status.20050523Based on GPS deviceTwo records were corrected for obvious mistypes in Herdsize.{79C54E0B-5CE1-42BF-9BAA-755112CD0CC7}
