As part of the marine mammal stock assessment program of the National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), photographic identification capture mark
recapture data were collected to estimate the abundance of common
bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) by the Southeast Fisheries
Science Center, Pascagoula, Mississippi Laboratory, and the Texas Marine
Mammal Stranding Network from 2014-03-29 to 2019-06-28. This dataset
contains spatiotemporal data from the "NorTex" catalog, including visual observations and dorsal fin images for individual dolphins encountered in the coastal and estuarine waters of
north Texas and western Louisiana including East Matagorda Bay, West
Bay, Galveston Bay, and Sabine Lake.The Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 requires the National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) to report the status of all marine mammal stocks in
USA waters. The primary purpose of this dataset was to collect common
bottlenose dolphin encounter data for capture-mark-recapture abundance
estimation models and to assess the spatial distribution of the dolphin group
encounters to inform stock assessment reports in three NMFS designated
stock areas: West Bay, Galveston Bay, and Sabine Lake.Fin images are not included in the downloadable zipped file.2014032920190628ground conditionIrregularTaxas-95.97484-93.7275230.0163128.58945
