The project is organized as a long-term monitoring project in order to survey cetacean population in these waters which belong to the Pelagos Marine Mammal Sanctuary. Cetacean spatial and temporal distribution is studied using boat-based surveys. A total of 326 sightings of identified cetacean species were recorded. Observed species and respective relative sighting frequencies were as follows: Striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba; 72.4%), sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus; 11.3%), fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus; 4.6%), bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus; 3.4%), long finned pilot whale (Globicephala melas; 3.4%), common dolphin (Delphinus delphis; 2.8%), Risso’s dolphin (Grampus griseus; 2.1%). Currently, analysis of the long-term dataset as well as respective publication is in progress. OceanCare is a Swiss non-profit and non-governmental organization founded in 1989. The organization is dedicated to the protection of marine mammals and the conservation of the marine environment. The association works at a national and international level in the areas of whaling, industrial fishing, environmental changes, seal hunting, dolphin captivity, and cetacean research. OceanCare is a partner of the UNEP/CMS Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans in the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Contiguous Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) and a member of the Cetacean Alliance, a not-for-profit network of nine non-governmental organizations committed to preserving marine biodiversity and reducing human impact on cetacean populations.

The URL specifies what you want: the dataset, a description of the graph or the subset of the data, and the file type for the response.
Tabledap request URLs must be in the form
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/datasetID.fileType{?query}
For example,
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/pmelTaoDySst.htmlTable?longitude,latitude,time,station,wmo_platform_code,T_25&time>=2015-05-23T12:00:00Z&time<=2015-05-31T12:00:00Z
Thus, the query is often a comma-separated list of desired variable names,
followed by a collection of
constraints (e.g., variable<value),
each preceded by '&' (which is interpreted as "AND").
