Title: Photographic Data
Status: Completed
Publication Date: 2021-10
Abstract:

Photos taken during marine mammal sightings
Purpose:

Main goal is to provide opportunistic photographs of marine mammals and other organisms seen during the sighting or survey.

Photographs are available for the dates below with the photographs in a separate directory for each date.

2018_01_29

2018_02_07

2018_02_08

2018_02_16

2018_02_17

2018_02_26

2018_03_07

2018_03_08

2018_03_14

2018_03_15

The way that one can link sight cues data table to the images if present is that when one looks at the images, the last directores for the images are date and sighting number

(For Example 2018_01_29_FB (For Jan 29.2018) and Sighting_013 (For a sighting value of 13)

You can go to the NOAA_SEFSC_GoMMAPPS_GU1801_MMSightsCues_20211001.csv data file and find the record for Jan 29.2018 with a sightcue value of 13 to see the record associated with the image.
