Survey Dates: January 31 – February 27, 2018; July 11 – July 20, 2018; February 24 – March 9, 2019; February 2 - February 12, 2020; July 7 – July 17, 2022; and February 17 – March 2, 2023. The four-character code for the species, species group, or object present in this data view are: BODO = Bottlenose Dolphin, DOLP = Unidentified Dolphin, MHWH = Melon-headed Whale, SPWH = Sperm Whale, WHAL = Unidentified Whale, and WIMA = West Indian Manatee. You should not combine vw_air_all_observations with vw_air_bird_observations, vw_air_marine_mammal_observations, or vw_air_sea_turtle_observations as they are subset data views and will create duplicate observations. Also, combining vw_air_bird_observations, vw_air_marine_mammal_observations, and vw_air_sea_turtle_observations together will not return the same results of vw_air_all_observations as excluding certain species groups.
