    Additional information The source publication "UNEP-MAP-RAC/SPA. 2015. Adriatic Sea: Important areas for conservation of cetaceans, sea turtles and giant devil rays. By Holcer, D ; Fortuna, C.M and Mackelworth, P.C. Ed. RAC/SPA, Tunis. 69 pp." allows to be reproduced in whole or in part and in any form for educational or non-profit purposes without special permission from the copyright holder, provided acknowledgement of the source is made. UNEP-MAP-RAC/SPA would appreciate receiving a copy of any publication that uses this publication as a source. The Figure 28 from the publication "UNEP-MAP-RAC/SPA. 2015. Adriatic Sea: Important areas for conservation of cetaceans, sea turtles and giant devil rays. By Holcer, D ; Fortuna, C.M and Mackelworth, P.C. Ed. RAC/SPA, Tunis. 69 pp." was georeferenced using the software QGIS 2.14 and the points representing the sightings were digitised. Then a grid 20x20 km2 was recreated and the number of sightings were calculated per each cell and assigned to the field "count", creating as an output a polygonal vector shapefile. This map contains only marine mammals represented in the figure 28 above mentioned, so excluding M. mobular and C. Caretta.
