Description:Conduct daytime visual line-transect surveys for cetaceans along pre-determined transect lines within the EEZ around the Hawaiian Islands. Search effort was recorded in WinCruz, including information on transect survey speed and 3 direction, viewing conditions, and observer rotation. When cetaceans weresighted, distance and bearing to the initial sighting location were recorded, as well as species code, group size, and behavior. The visual survey was maintained by a team of 6 cetacean observers. Additional sampling was carried out during select sightings, including collection of species identification and individual identification photographs, collection of tissue samples for genetic and other analyses, and deployment of satellite tags.
