Species identifications were recorded using the bird list called Working List of Australian Birds (WLAB) v.1.3 from Birdlife Australia ( http://birdlife.org.au/conservation/science/taxonomy). Cetacean and seal species have been added as required using WoRMS taxa names. The data recording tool allows for ad-hoc names to be added which can be taxonomically resolved post-voyage.
