Marine mammal and pelagic animals [sic] sightings (whalesightings [sic]) database : a users [sic] guide / by D. MacDonald ... [et al.]. : Fs97-6/3244E-PDF
"The Marine Mammal and Pelagic Animals or Whale Sighting Database (WSDB) was implemented in 2002 by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) to provide a central repository for opportunistic sightings of marine animals and to improve accessibility to data from surveys and research activities conducted in the Bay of Fundy and on the Scotian Shelf. The WSDB consists of three production tables and 21 code tables. Tables for media storage have been developed but are not implemented. The database contains more than 64,000 sightings of whales, porpoises, dolphins and large pelagic animals, mainly through opportunistic sightings by whale watching companies and observers during research activities spanning 1963-2016. These data provide a potential resource for information on the species observed, their location and seasonable distribution, and their behaviour and life history on the Scotian Shelf and Bay of Fundy"--Abstract, p. iv.
