Attributes recorded in these databases may differ. Since GPS data would become too huge to effectively visualize online, every 10th record was extracted. All GPS data can be requested. Environmental attributes were recorded less frequently than the GPS data and not all GPS records get environmental attributes attached.1993061220130926ground conditionCompleteNone plannedNorth Atlantic Ocean-74.74535138.447368.094-36.00085 NoneMarine Animal SurveyMarine BiologyMarine mammalsSea turtlesVisual SightingVesselNoneNorth Atlantic OceanMediterranean SeaTaxon coveredMarine mammalsSea turtlesRays and sharksIntegrated 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

Species identification by the data provider was matched with Integrated Taxonomic Information System. The databases merged have slightly different attributes.
