Generalized additive model (GAM) predicted smooth splines of the fin whale density as a function of the year. Tick marks above the x-axis indicate the distribution of observations. Shaded area represents the 95% confidence interval of the smoothspline function. This plot can be used to understand trends of speciespresence in the Western Mediterranean Basin (A) as well as for the three sub-areas: Western Pelagos (B), Pelagos Sanctuary (C) and South-Eastern Pelagos (SEP).
