The goal of {azores.cetaceans} is to provide a tidy data set of
occurrences of whales from the Azores based on data deposited at GBIF.
The region used to query GBIF for occurrences was the bounding box defined by 37.33°W to 18.86°W longitude and 32.44°N to 43.67°N latitude, covering a portion of the eastern Atlantic Ocean, including the Azores region.
