Abstract:
This dataset is of unclassified incidental sightings of cetaceans from UK Royal Navy ships. The dataset is global in coverage.
Purpose: THe RN often operate in remote areas and it is hoped that by collecting this sort of data the RN may be able to contribute to a better scientific understanding of cetacean distributions/ breeding areas/ migration routese etc. By ensuring that RN personnel keep watch for cetaceans this helps them to comply with current risk mitigation measures.
