Furthermore, these animals are important indicators of the marine ecosystem health, and scientific research is needed to develop appropriate conservation strategies. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the diversity, distribution, and relative abundance of marine mammals in the northern coasts of Veracruz, Mexico.The objective of this study was to determine the diversity, distribution, and relative abundance of aquatic mammals in Veracruz, Mexico.Serrano, A2011Cetacean diversity, distribution, and abundance in northern Veracruz, Mexicohttp://seamap.env.duke.edu/dataset/530OBIS-SEAMAP530http://seamap.env.duke.edu/dataset/530OBIS-SEAMAPground condition2005031020080804As needed-97.4165-95.621.61694419.25-97.4165-95.619.2521.616944MexicoOpen public unless otherwise noted.
