Sampling Methods

Marine mammal encounters were collected through iNaturalist and Google Appsheet platforms.

Study Extent Reported encounters were inside Vietnam EEZ only
Quality Control CBES staff and collaborators verified each record.

Method step description:

  1. Data from iNautralist was searched and extracted through iNaturalist website using provided search tool on this webpage. Data from Google Appsheet: Custom Google Appsheet forms (in Vietnamese) were developed and distributed to 20 marine protected areas staff via an offline workshop in Phu Quoc. Those staff used those forms to record marine mammal encounters in the respected areas. Data (coordinates, date and time, photographs) were automatically synchronized to a Google Sheet file. CBES staff and collaborators verified each record and contacted the reporters whenever necessary.
