A cetacean survey campaign was performed around São Miguel Island (Azores) by Anacaona Sailing boat (GREC) from May 8th to May 17th and from July 4th to August 1st of 2014. The team conducted a total of 18 days of effort around the island. A total of 9 species were sighted during the survey: common dolphin (Delphinus delphis), atlantic spotted dolphin (Stenella frontalis), bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops trucnatus), stripped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba), risso’s dolphin (Grampus griseus), sperm whale (Physter macrocephalus), fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus), false killer whale (Pseudorca crassidens) and Blainville beaked whale (Mesoplodon densirostris). The common dolphin together with the Atlantic spotted dolphin were the most sighted species. Some differences in the distribution between the species can be appreciated in the corrected effort maps. Acoustic data is currently under study.
