	<abstract>These data were collected during local (5-8 hour) whale watching trips &#13;
conducted by the Viking Fleet and CRESLI. Trips originated from &#13;
Montauk Harbor in Montauk, New York and occurred regularly from &#13;
1997-2002 and again from 2009 - present, during July, August and &#13;
early September.&#13;
&#13;
The data were collected during efforts to gather information about the &#13;
distribution, abundance, habitat use and site fidelity of cetaceans in &#13;
the waters around Montauk, New York. The general public were &#13;
educated, and volunteers were involved in collecting data, as citizen &#13;
scientists. The data are maintained by CRESLI and are submitted to &#13;
appropriate catalogs when possible.</abstract><purpose>The Coastal Research and Education Society of Long Island is a non-&#13;
profit research and education organization. Our mission is: "To &#13;
promote and foster understanding and stewardship of coastal &#13;
ecosystems through research and education ." Part of our work is to &#13;
observe and document the whale and sea bird populations of NY and &#13;
New England and to take people to see these animals in the wild.&#13;
&#13;
Since 2002 we have been offering incredible and successful multi-day &#13;
offshore pelagic bird and whale observation trips.</purpose><supplinf>[2022-03-17] A record for Atlantic white-sided dolphin on 2009-07-06 was added.&#13;
[2020-10-16] The 2018-19 data were appended.&#13;
[2020-08-07] The existing data was updated and 2016-2017 data were added.&#13;
[2015-05-12] Dataset was updated with 2012-2014 data.</supplinf></descript>
