Abstract: Aerial surveys of marine mammals were performed as part of the Marine Mammal Monitoring on Navy Undersea Acoustic Ranges (3MR) program in three regions: a) Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), Barking Sands, Kauai (BSURE and BARSTUR ranges; Jul 12-Nov 17, 2002); b) Bahamas (Northwest Providence Channel and AUTEC range; Jan 4-12, 2003); and c) main Hawaiian Islands (Feb 21- Apr 5, 2003). The mission was to identify species and record positions and composition of all marine mammal pods sighted. These data were made available to co-investigators (Martin and Moretti) of the 3MR program in order to correlate the visual positions with acoustic localizations using Navy assets.
