Spatial coverage
Atlas of Cetacean Distribution in North west European Waters “Joint Cetacean Database”
Small Cetacean Abundance in the North Sea and Adjacent Waters (SCANS)
Small Cetacean Abundance in the Atlantic and North Sea (SCANS II)
The Coastal Directive Project – JNCC Coasts and Seas of the United Kingdom
Provides an account of the distribution of all 28 cetacean species that are known to have occurred in the waters off north west Europe in the last 25 years, Data sources: SCANS data, European Seabirds at Sea and the Sea Watch Foundation.
Shipboard (890,000km2) and aerial line (150,000km2) transect surveys conducted to provide accurate and precise estimates of abundance as a basis for conservation strategy in European waters.
SCANS-II provides the most precise broad-scale estimates of cetacean abundance in UK waters, covering over 1,350,000km2 and over 35,000km of survey track line (boat and aerial surveys combined).
The Coastal Directories Project, coordinated by the JNCC, was developed to produce a wide-ranging baseline of environmental information for each part of the UK coastal and near shore marine zone. Each section provides a summary of the regions environment, including protected sites, wildlife habitats and species, human uses, archaeology etc.
Distributions of Cetaceans, Seals, Turtles, Sharks and Ocean Sunfish recorded from Aerial Surveys 2001-2008. WWT
Data on the distributions and abundances of cetaceans, seals, turtles, sharks and ocean sunfish Mola mola were collected opportunistically during aerial surveys for waterbirds conducted by Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust Consulting. The report details the distributions of all records of these species collected in areas of waterbird surveys around the UK coast between 2001 and August 2008 using distance-sampling methodology developed
