Photographs

This directory contains the media in .jpg, .MOV, and .mp4 formats embedded with the exchangeable image file (EXIF) metadata recorded by the cameras (e.g., time, date, camera settings) as well as metadata tags specific to the research and survey (e.g., project name, permit number). Media are taken opportunistically with project and personal cameras and may include photos and videos of marine mammals and other organisms seen during the sighting or survey. Photos are organized by collection date and divided into subdirectories by the observer team (designated by location on the ship) responsible for collecting the media or by the photographer's name, with additional nested folders that correspond to the sighting number.

For example, the nested file structure for photos may be as follows:
