A team of observers used standardized population sampling techniques, including line-transect and strip transect methods, to survey the distribution and abundance of marine mammals, birds and turtles. By repeatedly surveying the study area in conjunction with physical and biological measurements from in-situ and remote-sensing platforms, we will quantify how these predators respond to changes in the oceanography of this dynamic region over short time scales (days) and across seasons (summer - winter). unkown ErinLaBrecqueU.S. Marine Mammal CommissionPrimary contact ELaBrecque@mmc.gov NA NA NA ErinLaBrecqueowner NA 2026-04-28T11:35:35-04:00 dataset LaBrecque, E. 2020.
