This data set contains sightings of not only the target dolphins but also other species including cetaceans, sea turtles, fish and shark observed during the aerial surveys. The same transects were traced three times on different dates during the survey period. This data set is the last one. The other two are provided, too, with the number following MATS95s indicating the first, second and last. Cetacean and sea turtles observed included: Cetaceans: - Atlantic spotted dolphin - False killer whale - Standard Bottlenose dolphin Sea Turtles: - Hardshell - Kemp's ridley - Leatherback - Loggerhead This survey's transects information is available in MATS95s3Efforts.The purpose of this survey was to examine the distribution and estimate an index of relative abundance for Atlantic bottlenose dolphins inhabiting the nearshore coastal waters of the U.S. mid- and southern Atlantic bight.Records with no common name were observations of pollution (e.g., plastic). Records were assigned a sequential number LineNo. LineNo can be used to match observations with corresponding transects, each of which has BegLineNo and EndLineNo fields. Observation records with their LineNo between BegLineNo and EndLineNo in a transect are related to that transect. A duplicated LineNo indicates more than one species were observed at the same time. Records include 'off-effort' sightings as well. Card 'F' indicates the observation was done while off-effort. Card D was used for observation while on effort. When searching for a specific species, note that some records don't identify animals observed at a species level. If this is the case, the common/scientific name may be genus/family or higher (e.g., <i>Balaenoptera</i> sp.).1995073119950813ground conditionCompleteNone plannedNorth Atlantic Ocean-75.9762-73.307240.503835.24 NoneMarine Animal SurveyMarine BiologyMarine mammalsSea turtlesVesselVisual 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
