HLY-06-01 Observations of Marine Mammals of Beringia [Ray, G.C.]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/102.082

Summary
This dataset contains marine mammal observations onboard the US Coast Guard
Cutter Healy during the 2006 0601 cruise. The objective of this project has
been to observe marine mammals in the context of their sea-ice "seascape"
habitat. Emphasis has been placed on the winter-spring period during which
Pacific walruses and ribbon seals use sea ice for reproduction, molting, rest,
and as a platform for feeding and migration. The thesis is that marine mammals
partition sea-ice habitat according to their life-history requirements: for
Pacific walruses, "broken pack" and for ribbon seals "loose pack" provide this
habitat. The observations in this dataset were not conducted during a Bering
Sea Ecosystem Study-Bering Sea Integrated Ecosystem Research Program
(BEST-BSIERP) cruise, but are included here with the other observations during
the BEST cruises for the continuous story. BEST-BSIERP together are the Bering
Sea project. The data files are in Excel, csv and jpg format.
