Description
Original provider: HDR Environmental, Operations and Construction, Inc. Dataset credits: The U.S. Navy Marine Species Monitoring Program Abstract: Features in this feature class represent incidental sightings from vessels between 1965 and 2014. Supplemental information: [2018-04-16] Irregular date of 7/15/2065 was corrected to 7/15/1965. A report of an incidental sighting did not require time and thus the time value is a rough indication (e.g. morning).
