dolphin leaps through the water anlongside the R/V Gyre.
The R/V Gyre cruised
on a track that systematically covered the northeast Gulf of
Mexico. The black line indicates the times during which researchers
watched the seas for marine mammals during all of the NEGOM cruises.
The plus signs indicate places in the northeast Gulf of Mexico
where GulfCet researchers registered a dolphin or whale sighting.
During all five NEGOM cruises, a total of 289 sightings were
registered and 14 species were identified.
