WinCruz is a software program used to record sighting and effort data on ship line-transect surveys and to graphically display sighting locations in real-time. The WinCruz sighting records are included here
Visual sighting records of cetaceans are used for tracking species distribution in a study area and on-effort records collected during standard line-transect effort are used for estimating the abundance of cetacean species observed.

dataset
Representativeness
Each record represents a group of cetacean species visually observed during a shipboard survey.
Accuracy
Cetacean species are identified by experienced observers and when possible photos are collected and examined for species confirmation when needed.
WinCruz sighting records are extracted from the WinCruz file. Additional data collected during the sighting is added to the WinCruz data and maintained in tabular form.
WinCruz writes data in the DAS format that can be read by a text editor (e.g. Microsoft Notepad). The output files are labeled DASxxxx.yzz and BAKxxxx.yzz, where xxxx is the time the program starts, y is the month in hex format, and zz is the day. The BAK file is the backup information of the events as they
happen, including any edits of previous forms. The DAS file contains all the corrected information. Typically there is one output file per day (unless the computer program is closed and reopened.

Oscar Elton Sette (SE)
TThe NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette is named for Dr. Oscar Elton Sette. Dr. Sette was a pioneer in the development of fisheries oceanography and according to many fisheries scientists, is the father of modern fisheries oceanography in the U.S. He is recognized both nationally and internationally for many significant contributions to marine fisheries research. Oscar Elton Sette replaces Townsend Cromwell. Oscar Elton Sette supports the scientific missions of NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service Pacific Islands Science Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. The ship normally operates throughout the central and western Pacific, and conducts fisheries assessment surveys, physical and chemical oceanography, marine mammal projects and coral reef research. It collects fish and crustacean specimens using bottom trawls, longlines, and fish traps. Plankton, fish larvae and eggs are also collected with plankton nets and surface and mid-water larval nets. The ship routinely conducts scuba diving missions for the Honolulu Laboratory. Ample deck space enables Oscar Elton Sette to carry a recompression chamber as an added safety margin for dive-intensive missions in remote regions. The ship is actively involved in NMFS Honolulu Coral Reef Restoration cruises, which concentrate scientific efforts on the removal, classification and density of marine debris and discarded commercial fishing gear from fragile coral reefs.
