Description:

"Research Unit 68 of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program is based upon, the Platforms of Opportunity Project (POP) which was officially instituted by Marine Mammal Division, Northwest and Alaska Fisheries Center in 1971, The Platforms of Opportunity Project solicits marine mammal sighting data from various sources through a volunteer logbook program. Sighting information is hand and computer processed for computer analysis and magnetic tape storage. Errors can be introduced to the data base by (A) the observers themselves, (B). during transcription of logbook entries onto keypunching abstracts, and (C) during keypunching. Several levels of manual and computerized quality control steps have been instituted to assure that phases B and C above are done accurately and that possible errors made by the observer during phase A are at least double-checked during data processing. After all quality control steps have been made, the data is plotted and tabulated by species, month and geographical area; and, translated to the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program's 027 format for submission to the Environmental Data Service, NOAA."
