/* DATA DESCRIPTION: Citation: van Franeker, Jan Andries (2004): Tab.1: Estimates for marine mammals populations south of the Antarctic Polar Front. PANGAEA, https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.757612, Supplement to: van Franeker, JA (2004): Distribution and population densities of marine mammals south of 60 °S. Polarforschung, 72(2/3), 71-74, hdl:10013/epic.29887.d001 Abstract: The aim of this contribution is to supply summarized information on the distribution and numbers of marine mammals in the Antarctic. In relation to the topic of the workshop the question to be answered is: "Is there spatial or temporal variation in mammalian presence in the Antarctic area that has relevance to the operation of acoustic devices". If acoustic devices have impact on marine mammals, this does not stop at political borders. Nevertheless, since legal implementation of the Antarctic Environmental Protocol was the major stimulus behind the workshop, this contribution was asked to limit itself to the Antarctic Treaty area, that is south of 60°S.
