Description

Original provider: HDR Environmental, Operations and Construction, Inc. Dataset credits: The U.S. Navy Marine Species Monitoring Program Abstract: The marine mammal and sea turtle monitoring, vessel- and aerial-based surveys, were conducted between November 11–23, 2010, before, during, and after the Pacific Fleet training event in the HRC. The objectives of the vessel-based monitoring effort for Koa Kai 11-1 consisted of the following:

- Perform focal behavioral follows of marine mammals during the course of a training event involving ASW
- Assess the occurrence, distribution, and behavior of target species (marine mammals and sea turtles) using a vessel-based line transect survey within the HRC in waters within or adjacent to the area where ships were training
- Locate individual false killer whales (Pseudorca crassidens), pygmy killer whales (Feresa attenuata), and short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus) tagged by Dr. Robin Baird with Cascadia Research
- Investigate the occurrence, distribution, and behavior of target species (marine mammals and sea turtles) using vessel-based line transect survey in waters within or adjacent to the area where Navy ships were training.
Purpose: not provided Supplemental information: [2017-10-13] Data fields are changed so that they follow other Navy datasets. [2014-11-19] The dataset name was changed, replacing 2011 with 2010.
