Known as the SCANS survey, it was conducted in summer 1994. Shipboard transects covered 20,000 km and aerial transects covered 7000km. Harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), white-beaked dolphin (Lagenorhynchus albirostris) and minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) dominated the data.Please contact data provider1994062719940725ground conditionCompleteNone plannedOcean-11.391385612.518378661.931247148.3274504 NoneMarine Animal SurveyMarine BiologyMarine mammalsVisual SightingVessel Open public unless otherwise noted.1.
