Large whale stranding, death, ship strike and entanglement incidents are all recorded to monitor the health of each population and track anthropogenic factors that influence their recovery. This Oracle developed database is meant to consolidate the various forms of data into one searchable source for the east coast. Biological and geographic information will be recorded and searchable along with fishing gear information (entanglements), vessel parameters (ship strikes) and serious injury determinations.

30 PAT tags were deployed on nesting loggerhead turtles at Juno Beach, FL in June 2012. There have been three premature pop-offs, one of which appeared to be a mortality event. In addition, 10 of the turtles were also tagged with 10 GPS tags to provide detailed movement and behavior information.

The seabird necropsy dataset contains information on seabird specimens that were collected under salvage and scientific collection permits primarily by NMFS-certified fisheries observers deployed by the Pacific Islands Regional Office Observer Program to shallow and deep set pelagic longline fisheries operating in North Pacific waters and fisheries observers deployed by the Alaska Fisheries Science Center Observer Program to groundfish demersal longline, pot, and trawl fisheries in waters off Alaska. The database includes Magnuson-Act protected data on the precise date and location where the specimen was collected and publicly available information on the results of the necropsy work. This includes a suite of data including age class, sex, morphometrics, plumage characteristics, body condition, tissue samples, and plastics ingestion. Food habits are completed as a parallel program.

Occurrence of Birds, Aquatic Mammals, & Fish Schools Log collected during research cruises in 1950-1973, 1975-1991 and 1994-1997. Date, position, sightings of bird flock and fish schools, sightings of scattered birds, fish, whales, porpoises, seals and other species were collected on the log.

The primary goal of the Southern Resident Killer Whale (SRKW) Sightings Dashboard is to provide a resource for individuals and organizations to determine appropriate marine mammal protections for SRKWs when constructing projects throughout the Puget Sound. Specifically, in conjunction with the known action area of a project, it can help determine whether a marine mammal monitoring plan (MMMP) is needed that includes orcas. The National Marine Fisheries Service uses this tool to determine necessary MMMPs for Endangered Species Act consultations, including projects under the Salish Sea Nearshore Programmatic Biological Opinion.
