Title: Marine mammal and other data from aircraft in the Bering Sea and other locations as part of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from 1975-06-10 to 1976-06-18 (NCEI Accession 7700222)
Abstract: Marine mammal and other data were collected from aircraft in the Bering Sea and other locations from 10 June 1975 to 18 June 1976. Data were collected by the Alaska State Department of Fish and Game as part of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F026 Marine Mammal Sighting format. An analog file for this accession is available.

The F026 format contains data from field observations of marine mammals. Obtained from ship or aircraft surveys, the data are collected to provide information on population density and distribution, migratory routes, and breeding locales. In addition to data on the survey track and observed environmental conditions (including ice conditions, if encountered), the file contains data for each species sighted. Parameters reported may include total number of individuals, number of pups, number of groups and number of mammals per group.
