VAQS records basic (level A) data, for all marine mammals, as well as more in depth (level B and C) data whenever possible. The OBIS dataset contains the basic level A data for all stranded marine mammals, responded to by VAQS, and spans the years of 1988-2008.These data can be used to report the presence and seasonality of marine mammal species when survey data are lacking. Absence of a species from the dataset does not, however, indicate absence from the area as stranding data are opportunistic data that require detection of a mortality on a coastline. Those data points located in a water body indicate that the animal was first seen floating. Human interaction (HI) data are included as part of the level A dataset but must be analyzed carefully as 'YES' for HI does not necessarily indicate that the stranding or the death of an animal was caused by human activity.Barco, S2013https://doi.org/10.82144/1927acdfOBIS-SEAMAP502http://seamap.env.duke.edu/dataset/502OBIS-SEAMAPvector digital dataVersion 1.0.0ground condition1988011520081216CompleteNone planned-76.966667-75.1614238.17927634.92617-76.966667-75.1614234.9261738.179276VirginiaOpen public unless otherwise noted.
