Comparing citizen science reports and systematic surveys of marine mammal distributions and densities

2018-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Citizen science observations represent a significant and growing source of species and ecosystem knowledge. These data have potential to support traditional surveys. Databases of citizen observations of wildlife are growing, but how to use this information for scientific purposes is less clear owing to uncertainty in sampling distribution and data quality. In this study, we demonstrate how mapping cetacean pattern...
