Cross the Seas is an interactive data visualiser displaying the number and species of whale sightings around Australia. The viewer is able to change that species of whale sightings plotted on screen as well as the year (in increments of ten years) through the use of the mouse moving the two slider points up or down. Thus, the viewer is able to see first hand a visual representation if the whale species population has inclined or declined. The total number of whales sighted will be printed on the bottom right corner of the screen. It serves as an education platform to raise awareness about the low population of whales, and that we should protect them. The team also acknowledges that the data retrieved from Australian Marine Mammal Centre's data portal in the early years were mainly concentrated at Tasmania. We believe that it was only in the later years did researchers start to plot data of whale sightings around Australia as well. Therefore, the lack of whale sighting data is not due to no sightings in mainland Australia, but rather lack of recorded data.
