This is the OBIS extraction of the Atlantic Cooperative Telemetry and Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) SERC Cownose Ray Study, consisting of the release tagging metadata, i.e. the location and date when the tagged animal was released, and summarized detection events of tagged individuals. If readers are interested in the source dataset they may also inquire with the project PIs as listed here or on the OTN web site (https://members.oceantrack.org/project?ccode=ACT.CBCNR).
Abstract:The Cownose Ray is an ecologically important batoid ray in coastal areas of the western North Atlantic. This study seeks to identify patterns in habitat use throughout the annual migration along the US Atlantic Coast.
