Additional Metadata

marine, harvested by iOBIS. The original survey data are separated into two datasets, collected from left-side and right-side observers to address variance in environmental and sighting conditions. This dataset is from the left side sightings data. The right side sightings data are available on OBIS-SEAMAP in the Virginia CZM Wind Energy Area Survey - Right side - May 2014 through December 2014 dataset. Both on- and off-effort sightings are included. The effort data layer, for this project is static transect lines. The plane track lines are available by request.
