The survey was flown aboard a NOAA Twin Otter aircraft at an altitude of 600 feet (183 m) and a speed of 110 knots. The survey path followed tracklines oriented perpendicular to the shoreline and latitudinally spaced 20 km apart. “Fine-scale” track lines were surveyed in waters off the coast of New Jersey, Delaware and Virginia. The survey was designed for analysis using Distance sampling and a two-team (independent observer) approach to correct for visibility bias in resulting abundance estimates.The goal of the surveys was to conduct line-transect surveys using the Distance sampling approach to estimate the abundance and spatial distribution of marine mammals and turtles in waters over the continental shelf of the eastern US.Perpendicular distance to the animal is not publicly available. The dataset is accompanied by transect (effort) data which is provided as a separate file.2016070320160809ground conditionCompleteNone plannedNorth Atlantic-81.35658-72.2307340.2236826.02752 NoneMarine Animal SurveyMarine BiologyMarine mammalsSea turtlesVisual SightingAircraftNoneNorth AtlanticTaxon coveredMarine mammalsSea turtlesIntegrated Taxonomic Information SystemUnknownNot applicableDownloaded April, 2004http://www.itis.usda.gov/Refer to the contact information of the datasetRefer to the contact information of the datasetmailing and physical address
