Description:

The Platforms Of Opportunity Program (POP) was begun in 1975 as part of the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program.1 Since then the program has solicited marine mammal sightings from observers aboard various types of vessels. The sightings have been entered into a database and the data have been used by researchers to determine the distribution, abundance, and seasonality of marine mammals.
