Distribution maps of cetacean and seabird populations in the North‐East Atlantic
Abstract Distribution maps of cetaceans and seabirds at basin and monthly scales are needed for conservation and marine management. These are usually created from standardized and systematic aerial and vessel surveys, with recorded animal densities interpolated across study areas. However, distribut...
