      Abstract: 
        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.

      Purpose: 
        PacIOOS provides timely, reliable, and accurate ocean information to 
        support a safe, clean, productive ocean and resilient coastal zone in 
        the U.S. Pacific Islands region.

        (IOOS). PacIOOS is coordinated by the University of Hawaii School of 
        Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST).

      Abstract: 
        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.
