Trips originated from Montauk Harbor in Montauk, New York and occurred regularly from 1997-2002 and again from 2009 - present, during July, August and early September. The data were collected during efforts to gather information about the distribution, abundance, habitat use and site fidelity, and behavior of cetaceans in the waters around Montauk, New York.
