MARINE ANIMAL OBSERVATIONS 



Sightings of nine types of marine animals ob- 

 served on ART surveys have been recorded for the 

 period July 1970 to June 1976 from Miami, Florida 

 to Cape Cod, Massachusetts. These data are 

 presented as a seven year weighted mean latitude 

 and temperature value for each animal (Fig. 74). 

 The formula utilized for this calculation was 

 previously published (Deaver, 1975). These data 



are presented only as a by-product of ART surveys 

 for the benefit of the oceanographic community. 



ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 



The authors are indebted to the pilots and crews 

 of the Coast Guard aircraft involved in the monthly 

 ART surveys and especially to the Marine Science 

 Technicians at the Coast Guard Oceanographic 

 Unit who obtained these data.
