Schorr GS, Rone BK, Falcone EA, Keene EL, Sweeney, DA2019Final Report to the US Navy Pacific Fleet Integrated Comprehensive Monitoring Program, Award No. N66604-18-P-2187 and Interim Report to the Cooperative Agreement Studies Unit, Award No. N62473-19-2-002554 pghttp://www.marecotel.org/reports.html The United States (US) Navy uses the Southern California (SOCAL) portion of the Hawaii-Southern California Training and Testing area, a collection of nearshore and offshore training areas that include much of the navigable water from Santa Barbara Island, California, to northern Baja California, Mexico, and extending several hundred miles to the west. It is among one of the most heavily used tactical training areas in the world, and is used for a variety of aerial, surface, and subsurface exercises. The Southern California Offshore Range (SCORE) is a subset of complexes within SOCAL centered on San Clemente Island and managed via the Range Operation Center (ROC) on North Island, Coronado. It includes the Southern California Anti-submarine Warfare Range (SOAR), a focal area for exercises involving mid-frequency active sonar (MFAS) systems within the San Nicolas Basin. Through its N45 Living Marine Resources (LMR) research programs, and more recently in support of Pacific Fleet Monitoring efforts, the US Navy has funded directed studies on cetacean occurrence on SOAR since 2006. The primary focus of these studies is to support long-term surveys of Cuvier’s beaked whales and fin whales using photo-identification (photo-ID) and genetics to elucidate population size, structure, and trends, which can in turn provide a particularly robust basis for assessing population-level impacts of Navy training. Data is collected on all species encountered in this region as part of the monitoring program.Data from this project is collected to better understand the movement and habitat use of cetaceans within and around the Southern California Bight (SCB). The SCB is home to a diverse group of cetacean species, and is an area of significant human impacts, including commercial shipping, Navy training, and recreational boating.[2026-02-11] Sightings in 2023-2025 were appended. Sightings off the Washington State coasts were not included in this dataset as they were not a part of this project (2 in 2025, 34 in 2023).
