Marine Mammals and Seabirds and Turtles: Summer presence-only distribution of baleen whales

Observations of live baleen whales from different datasets collected in France and the United Kingdom were compiled to generate presence-only distributions in the CHARM3 study area. These include 3 species of baleen whales. The data span from 1991 - 2011 and come from both dedicated and opportunistic surveys from land, sea, or air.

Explanation

Observations of baleen whales in the English Channel and southern North Sea. The data were provided from a variety of sources including public sightings, dedicated and opportunistic surveys on a variety of platforms over several decades. No information on search effort is available so the data represent presence-only sightings.

Pass
Statement

Sightings records were contributed by: Marinelife and the Atlantic Research Coalition, the University of Exeter, the Sea Mammal Research Unit, the Cornwall Wildlife Trust and Seaquest Southwest Programme, Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust Consulting, Marine Conservation International and the International Federation for Animal Welfare, the Joint Nature Conservation Committee, the Centre de Recherche sur les Mammifères Marins, and the Iroise Parc Naturel Marins. Data were filtered to remove obvious location errors (i.e. on land) and in poor seastates (>3 Beaufort Scale). The filtered dataset was then used to generate composite presence-only rasters in 0.25 degree resolution.
