Description:
Common Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) habitat-based density estimates in the California Current Ecosystem.

Habitat-based density models were developed for 14 species and one guild (Mesoplodonts and Cuvier’s beaked whale) using 92,214 km of on-effort survey data collected between 1991 and 2018 within the CCE study area.

To generate average density surfaces, predictions were made on daily grids encompassing the 1996-2018 surveys (late June – early December). Models thus provide “multi-year average density surfaces” representative of the summer/fall period.

In these maps, uncertainty (expressed as CVs) account for environmental variability during the 1996-2018 survey period.
