Kenney, R2013https://doi.org/10.82144/55f0d686OBIS-SEAMAP283http://seamap.env.duke.edu/dataset/283OBIS-SEAMAPVersion 1.6.0 The Cetacean and Turtle Assessment Program (CETAP) was sponsored by the Bureau of Land Management and conducted between October 1978 and January 1982 by the University of Rhode Island in outer continental shelf waters of the northeastern United States from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, to the Gulf of Maine and from shore to 9.3 km (5 nautical miles) seaward of the 1829 m (1,000 fathoms) isobath. Population surveys were conducted by CETAP to assess the distribution and abundance of whales, dolphins and sea turtles inhabiting the study area.This dataset is a subset of CETAP_AIR extracting animal sighting records with taxonomic information of species sighted added. The full dataset may be available upon request. Please contact the primary contact person for the proper use of the dataset.Metadata are currently being revised. Sighting points that were more than 2 km inland were eliminated. Those from 1 km to 2 km inland can be considered as on-water sightings. Those records have TRUE in the [Excluded] field to indicate that they seem to fall on land but may be correct sightings.1978111419820119ground conditionCompleteNone plannedNorth Atlantic Ocean-81.3-61.48345.03328.767 NoneMarine Animal SurveyMarine BiologyMarine mammalsSea turtlesAircraftVisual SightingNoneNorth Atlantic OceanTaxon coveredMarine mammals, seabirds, sea turtlesIntegrated 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
