From: Spatio-temporal analysis identifies marine mammal stranding hotspots along the Indian coastline
(a) Stranding rates (number of strandings/ km) of marine mammals calculated from data compiled between years 1748–2017 along the Indian coastline. High strandings rates (in red) are observed at sections near Mumbai, Kozhikode, Tuticorin, Chennai and Bhubaneshwar. This map was created using ArcGIS 10.5 (https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/tools/analysis-toolbox/near.htm). (b) Emerging hotspots obtained from all marine mammal stranding records from data compiled between years 1748–2017 along the Indian coastline. This map was created using ArcGIS Pro 2.4.2 (https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/2.8/tool-reference/space-time-pattern-mining/emerginghotspots.htm). (c) Emerging hotspots obtained from all stranded baleen whale records from data compiled between years 1748–2017 along the Indian coastline. This map was created using ArcGIS Pro 2.4.2 (https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/2.8/tool-reference/space-time-pattern-mining/emerginghotspots.htm). (d) Emerging hotspots obtained from all stranded dolphins and finless porpoise records from data compiled between years 1748–2017 along the Indian coastline. This map was created using ArcGIS Pro 2.4.2 (https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/2.8/tool-reference/space-time-pattern-mining/emerginghotspots.htm).
