A portion of the Happywhale data were transferred to OBIS-SEAMAP upon the agreement between Happywhale and OBIS-SEAMAP. There may be duplicate records among Happywhale datasets and other OBIS-SEAMAP datasets. The precision of date/time vary per record. Some records have date accuracy up to year only. This dataset includes sightings and photos from the following 427 contributors in alphabetic order: Aana Rivlin; adam maire; Aditya Srinivasan; Adrian Boyle; Aiden Neary; Ainars Zarins; Alain Bidart; Alan Chan; aLEJANDRO sANCHEZ; Alexander Hagge; Alexandra Brown; Alexandra Thommen; Alex Cowan; Alex Sagan; Alice Forrest; Alicia Jackson; Ali Liddle; Alisa Schulman-Janiger (California Killer Whale Project); Allan Templeton; Al Rouse; Anand P Kruttiventi; Andre L.
