74852 Entity Published / External 74029 Cetacean visual observations using line-transect survey methods onboard the NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter (GU) in the Gulf of Mexico, for the Vessel Surveys for Abundance and Distribution of Marine Mammals and Seabirds project (VSAD survey GU2402) from 2024-06-03 to 2024-08-12 (NCEI Accession 0299731) Data Set Completed 2025 file providing data for sightings and samples (Occurrence). Main goal is to provide species identification for sightings and samples and group size counts for sightings (individualCount), among other data. Sightings are uniquely identified by occurrenceID and samples by materialSampleID. E.g.: 1_15-Apr-04: sighting number 1 from 15-Apr-04; GU-20040415-07-01: sample number 1 (01) collected on the Gordon Gunter (GU), on 15-Apr-04 (20040415), under sighting number 7 (07). Data Table Yes Provides data for sightings and samples (Occurrence). Main goal is to provide species identification for sightings and samples and group size counts for sightings (individualCount), among other data. 5 parentEventID Character Yes Yes Active Eventid of parent record. s_5_2-Jun-04 10 eventid Character Yes No Active eventid.
