Table 5. Classification of data input uncertainty in three SEA field sites.

Green = substantial data available, yellow = limited data available, and red = data are either incomplete or severely limited.

Data type	Field sites
	SIBU	KUCG	KGBR
Animal sightings distribution	Systematic transect aerial survey	Systematic transect boat survey	Systematic line transect boat survey; not enough sightings to characterize distribution
Habitat suitability	Seagrass data and mammal acoustics; limited environmental data collected during survey	Environmental data collected with the transect survey	Environmental data partially collected
Fishing effort / gear type densities	Collected during line transect surveys and from interviews		From interviews only
Bycatch / stranding data	From interviews and some records of stranded animals due to interactions with fisheries	Presence/absence of bycatch from interviews only
