About
We conducted 18 aerial surveys in the marine waters around San Clemente Island, California, from October 2008 to July 2013, to obtain both observations of marine mammal behavior and data suitable for developing marine mammal density estimates. The primary platform used was a Partenavia P68-C or P68-OBS (glass-nosed) high-wing, twin-engine airplane. Density and abundance estimates were made using line-transect methods and the software DISTANCE 6.0.
