PGS vessels have continuous observation for mammal and turtle sightings, this can be a combination of visual inspection and acoustic sensors. The data provides details for the sightings under numerous projects offshore Brazil. This dataset is the result of processing input data from multiple projects and ensuring the data are consistently formatted and aggregated into a single common format. The original files can be found on the Ocean Data Platform.
