The study area extended between the state border between Virginia and North Carolina (36 degrees N) to the Bay of Fundy (45 degrees N) and from the United States Atlantic shoreline to the entrance of the Gulf of St. Lawrence (58 degrees W). The team was based out of Woods Hole, Massachusetts (Otis Air Force base) on June 12; Salisbury, Maryland from June 13 to 18; back to Woods Hole, Massachusetts (Otis Air Force base) from June 19 to 28; Portland, Maine on June 29 to 30; Bar Harbor, Maine from July 1 to July 7; Halifax, Nova Scotia from July 8 to July 9; Yarmouth, Nova Scotia from July 10 to 11, and back to Woods Hole, Massachusetts, United States on July 12th.The objective of this survey was to describe the habitat of and estimate the abundance of cetaceans and turtles that are in the study area.This aerial survey was conducted in conjunction with a shipboard survey '<a href=http://seamap.env.duke.edu/dataset/396>NEFSC Mid-Atlantic marine mammal abundance survey 2004</a>,' another dataset available on OBIS-SEAMAP.2004061320040712ground conditionCompleteNone plannedNorth Atlantic Ocean-75.88993-65.6079645.01336.7 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
