Species Distribution: Pygmy Sperm Whale - Hawaii
This dataset contains a collection of known point locations of pygmy sperm whales identified through direct human observation via shipborne surveys. This can be useful for assessing species abundance, population structure, habitat use, and behavior. This collection is aggregated from multiple survey periods. Each data point contains attributes for further information about the time and source of the observation. This dataset was compiled by the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) and may be updated in the future if additional data sources are acquired.
Cascadia Research Collective (CRC) has been undertaking shipborne surveys for odontocetes in Hawaiian waters since 2000. Pygmy sperm whales have been sighted much less frequently in Hawaiian waters than dwarf sperm whales.
