ORCA Oban-Tiree-Coll-Colonsay 2019 dataset
A team of up to four trained volunteers including at least one highly experienced observer recorded cetacean sightings using line transect distance sampling methods from a ferry travelling between Oban, mainland Scotland, Tiree, Colonsay and Coll . Two observers searched a 100┬░ area from either side of the ship with a 10┬░ overlap on the trackline to satisfy the assumption that all animals on the trackline are detected while one observer recorded data and the other rested. Effort information including location, vessel speed, course of vessel and environmental conditions (sea state, swell, precipitation, glare and visibility) were recorded every 30 minutes when observers rotated or when conditions changed. Glare was originally recorded as the position of glare in relation to the ship.

The data was originally recorded on a tablet with a USB GPS using the Logger software and stored in a Microsoft access database. The data was sent into the ORCA office where it was checked (e.g. checked for spatial errors using GIS software, species identification confirmed with photographs) and corrected if necessary. Once checked, it was assigned survey/effort/sightings IDs and entered into a master spreadsheet.
