Abstract:
During 23 June through 1 August 2010, the 22nd Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC 2010)
exercise was conducted in the Hawaii Range Complex (HRC). RIMPAC is a biennial,
multinational exercise designed to strengthen regional partnerships and improve
interoperability. It is an exercise designed to bring multinational military assets together
to train towards bettering the Navy’s capabilities. Anti-submarine warfare (ASW) was the
exercise's main feature.
As part of compliance requirements with the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) of
1972 and the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, the Navy developed the HRC
Monitoring Plan to provide marine mammal and sea turtle monitoring (DoN 2008). In
order to effectively meet the goals outlined in this Plan, it was determined that one
example of training events recommended for monitoring should contain one or more
surface combatants conducting ASW during a regularly scheduled training event.
Research elements of that Plan include visual surveys and passive acoustic monitoring.<br />

The monitoring effort for RIMPAC 2010 consisted of the following:<br />
- Vessel-based line transect surveys to assess the diversity, distribution, and
behavior of target species (e.g., marine mammals and sea turtles)<br />
- Installation of one shallow- and one deep-water passive acoustic monitors (PAMs)
in waters off Ni&#39;ihau.

This dataset includes the data from the vessel-based line transect surveys.

The sighting of short-finned pilot whales and spinner dolphins on 7/19/10 was an aggregation of the two species and recorded as a single record. This sighting was split into each species in this dataset.

摘要：在2010年6月23日至8月1日期间，第22届环太平洋（RIMPAC 2010）演习在夏威夷范围复合体（HRC）举行。环太平洋演习是一项旨在加强区域伙伴关系和提升互操作性的双边或多边演习。该演习旨在集结多国军事力量，以提升海军的作战能力。反潜战（ASW）是该演习的核心内容。

为遵守1972年《海洋哺乳动物保护法》（MMPA）和1973年《濒危物种法》（ESA）的规定，海军制定了HRC监测计划，以提供海洋哺乳动物和海龟的监测（DoN 2008）。为了有效地实现该计划中概述的目标，决定将一项建议用于监测的训练事件之一包含一个或多个水面作战舰艇在常规训练活动中执行反潜战。该计划的研究要素包括视觉调查和被动声学监测。

RIMPAC 2010的监测工作包括以下内容：
- 基于船舶的线状横断面调查，以评估目标物种（如海洋哺乳动物和海龟）的多样性、分布和行为
- 在尼豪岛附近水域安装一个浅水和一个深水被动声学监测器（PAMs）。

本数据集包括基于船舶的线状横断面调查的数据。

2010年7月19日观测到的短鳍领航鲸和翻车鲸的聚集事件被记录为单一记录。在此数据集中，该观测事件被拆分为每个物种的记录。
