Original provider: HDR Environmental, Operations and Construction, Inc. Dataset credits: The U.S. Navy Marine Species Monitoring Program Abstract: This dataset presents a Guam subset of the results of the Guam and Saipan Marine Species Monitoring: Winter-Spring Survey conducted on the motor vessel (M/V) Sea Fantasy (Guam survey) and the M/V Super Emerald (Saipan survey) from 15 to 29 March 2012. The objective of the 2012 survey effort was to conduct baseline surveys to further document marine mammal and sea turtle occurrence in nearshore waters around the island of Guam and Saipan. The approach primarily followed opportunistic survey protocols used in recent surveys around Guam (Ligon et al. 2011; HDR 2011), which remained within 10 kilometers (km) or 5.4 nautical miles (NM) of the coastline. Purpose: not provided Supplemental information: A Saipan subset of the survey is found at

摘要：本数据集为2012年3月15日至29日期间，分别搭乘"海上幻想号"（M/V Sea Fantasy，关岛调查用）与"超级翡翠号"（M/V Super Emerald，塞班岛调查用）开展的《关岛与塞班岛海洋物种监测：冬春季调查》的关岛子集数据。2012年本次调查的核心目标为开展基线调查，以进一步记录关岛与塞班岛近岸海域的海洋哺乳动物与海龟出没情况。本次调查主要沿用了关岛近年同类调查所采用的机会主义调查规程（Ligon等，2011；HDR，2011），调查范围限定在海岸线10千米（km）或5.4海里（NM）范围内。
