GVI Seychelles – Mahé/Marine Conservation Expedition & SNPA2018Seychelleshttp://seamap.env.duke.edu/dataset/1868 Since 2006, various fauna sighted during every dive undertaken by GVI has been recorded. This data is purely qualitative and should be taken cautiously as recordings are not systematic nor standardized, thus vary according to many factors e.g. visibility, observer, site, dive purpose.Please contact data providerThe number (obs_count) counts the animals in the same size. The downloadable data is not available to the public. You have to consult with and get permission from the provider.2018011120191211ground conditionCompleteNone plannedSeychelles55.360955.431766-4.561539-4.6794 NoneMarine Animal SurveyMarine BiologyVisual SightingVesselNoneSeychellesTaxon 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
