    <purpose>
      <para>Groupe de Recherche sur les C&#xE9;tac&#xE9;s (GREC) is a non-profit and fully benevolent marine research and conservation organization. GREC was funded in 1991 and carried out small boat surveys in several regions of the world.
The present data set was collected while cruising to/from the Azores, where GREC joined University of the Azores to help a PhD project.</para>
