Description
Within the framework of the OPKK project "Development of the System for Monitoring the Status of Species and Habitat Types" - GROUP 20: "Creation and development of monitoring programs for cetaceans and sea turtles, with capacity building for stakeholders in the monitoring and reporting System", existing data on the abundance and distribution of cetaceans and sea turtles were gathered. This dataset includes observations of various species of cetaceans and sea turtles over the period 1920-2022.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 6,999 records.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.
