NOAA Mid Atlantic Tursiops Surveys 1995 (1); Sightings

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

Mid Atlantic Tursiops Surveys (MATS) were conducted in 1995 by NOAA Southeast Fisheries Science Center to examine the distribution and estimate an index of relative abundance for Atlantic bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) inhabiting the nearshore coastal waters in mid-and southern Atlantic bight.

Description

This data set contains sightings of not only the target dolphins but also other species including cetaceans, sea turtles, fish and shark observed during the aerial surveys.

The same transects were traced three times on different dates during the survey period. This data set is the first one. The other two are provided, too, with the number following MATS95s indicating the first, second and last.
