 0001   COLLECTION METHOD   
 ----   --------------------
      1 -- VISUAL COUNT - THE OBSERVER COUNTED EACH ANIMAL VISUALLY AT THE TIME
OF SIGHTING.  NUMBERS IN A FEW  
            SMALL GROUPS MAY HAVE BEEN ESTIMATED BUT THE NUMBER RECORDED IS
BELIEVED TO BE QUITE CLOSE TO THE   
            NUMBER SEEN.
      2 -- VISUAL ESTIMATE - USUALLY USED ONLY FOR GROUPS OF ANIMALS WHEN A
VISUAL COUNT IS IMPOSSIBLE.  THIS   
            METHOD MAY BE VERY INACCURATE PARTICULARLY FOR LARGE GROUPS OF
ANIMALS AND THE COUNTS SHOULD BE 
            USED CAUTIOUSLY.
      3 -- PHOTOGRAPHIC COUNT - ALSO USED FOR GROUPS OF ANIMALS.  GROUPS ARE
PHOTOGRAPHED AND THE NUMBER
            DETERMINED BY COUNTING INDIVIDUALS ON THE PHOTOS AT A LATER DATE.  IN
SOME CASES THE PHOTO COUNT
            MAY BE SUPPLEMENTED BY A VISUAL COUNT OF ANIMALS NOT PHOTOGRAPHED. 
PHOTOGRAPHIC COUNTS ARE MORE
            RELIABLE THAN VISUAL ESTIMATES BUT SOME ERRORS DUE TO TECHNICAL
PROBLEMS ARE POSSIBLE.  
      4 -- ACOUSTIC COUNT   

 0002   COMPLETENESS
 ----   --------------------
      1 -- AREA OR STATION COMPLETELY SURVEYED(FOR SEA OTTER SURVEYS,PLATFORM
LOCATED SO THAT ALL SHORELINE, OFFSHORE ROCKS, ETC. WITHIN SURVEY TRACKS). 
      2 -- AREA OR STATION PARTIALLY SURVEYED(FOR SEA OTTER SURVEYS, SOME
PORTION OF SHORELINE, ETC NOT WITHIN SURVEY TRACKS.  

 0003   CONFIDENCE  
 ----   --------------------
      0 -- NO ERROR 
      1 -- +1   
      2 -- +2   
      3 -- +5   
      4 -- +10  
      5 -- +25  
      6 -- +50  
      7 -- +100 
      8 -- +1000
      9 -- INDICATES "AT LEAST" FOR GROUP COUNT.  USUALLY FOR SMALL GROUPS OF LESS
THAN 10 INDIVIDUALS WHERE A CERTAIN NUMBER MIGHT SURFACE SIMULTANEOUSLY BUT MORE ARE
SUSPECTED.   
      A -- ESTIMATE - NO INDICATION OF CONFIDENCE LEVEL 
      B -- NUMBER OF ANIMALS UNKNOWN

      4 -- SHELL AND BODY INTACT (TURTLES) - LITTLE OR NO FOUL ODOR OR BLOATING 
      5 -- SHELL FALLING APART (TURTLES) - BODY BLOATING AND DISCOLORED, STRONG 
FOUL ODOR   
      6 -- SKELETON

     98 -- SINGLE SIGHTING REPORTS BY NON MMO.  

 0006   SURFACE VISIBILITY  
 ----   --------------------
      1 -- EXCELLENT - SURFACE OF WATER CALM, USUALLY A HIGH OVERCAST SKY WITH
NO SUN GLARE.  SEA OTTERS APPEAR DARK AGAINST A UNIFORMLY LIGHT GRAY BACKGROUND OF THE
WATER'S SURFACE.  INDIVIDUALS EASILY  DISTINGUISHED AT A DISTANCE.
      2 -- VERY GOOD - MAY BE LIGHT RIPPLE ON WATER'S SURFACE OR SLIGHTLY UNEVEN
LIGHTING BUT STILL RELATIVELY  EASY TO DISTINGUISH INDIVIDUALS AT A DISTANCE.  
     3 -- GOOD - MAY BE LIGHT CHOP, SOME SUN GLARE OR SHADOWS.  INDIVIDUALS AT A
DISTANCE MAY BE DIFFICULT TO DISTINGUISH BUT INDIVIDUALS NEARBY AND SMALL GROUPS AT A DISTANCE ARE
READILY IDENTIFIED.   
      4 -- FAIR - USUALLY CHOPPY WAVES AND STRONG SUN GLARE OR DARK SHADOWS IN
PART OF THE SURVEY TRACK. INDIVIDUALS IN KELP BEDS, IN THE LEE OF ROCKS, OR NEAR THE OBSERVER AND
MOST PODS READILY IDENTIFIED BUT MOST INDIVIDUALS AND SOME PODS IN AREAS OF POOR LIGHTING
OR AT A DISTANCE DIFFICULT  TO DISTINGUISH. 
      5 -- POOR - INDIVIDUALS DIFFICULT TO DISTINGUISH UNLESS VERY CLOSE AND SOME
PODS AT A DISTANCE MAY BE  MISSED, HOWEVER CONDITIONS STILL GOOD ENOUGH TO GIVE A VERY ROUGH
IMPRESSION OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF  ANIMALS.
      6 -- UNACCEPTABLE - HEAVY CHOP WITH MANY WHITECAPS, LIGHTING POOR OR
LARGE WAVES BREAKING ON ROCKS.  NO  SURVEYS SHOULD BE CONDUCTED UNDER THESE CONDITIONS BUT OCCASIONALLY
A SIGHTING OF SIGNIFICANCE MAY    BE MADE IN THE COURSE OF OTHER ACTIVITIES.
