This dataset is based on the results of research activities on cetacean monitoring conducted in 2019 by Ukrainian researchers in the framework of EMBLAS-Plus project funded by the EU-UNDP.

In total, 60 sightings of all the cetacean species were recorded during the photo-identification surveys and the ship-based line-transect survey, including common dolphins, 19; bottlenose dolphins, 19; harbour porpoises, 22.
