Sightings of false killer-whales Pseudorca crassidens in coastal waters of northern Australia (2005-2020)

Data from a variety of sources were used to document the occurrence of false killer whales in Australian coastal waters. Opportunistic sightings from both research activities and crowd sourced from open-access online biodiversity portals (e.g., Atlas of Living Australia), citizen science mobile applications and programs (Marine WildWatch, DolphinWatch and Marine Fauna Sightings), and government archives (Naturemap) were used.
