Most the data were obtained by means of special cetacean line transect aerial and vessel-based surveys conducted by trained observers. Some data were colllected during cetacean photo-identification studies. The dataset is accompanied with the estimated values of cetacean density and abundance. For the most recent 5 years of data collection, only presence data are made available, for data older than 5 years, abundance data is made available.
