Most Halobates species are coastal and typically found in sheltered, coastal marine habitats, but five live on the surface of the open ocean and only occur near the coast when storms blow them ashore.W CalCOFI holds 434 observations of it in 1 dataset between 1999 and 2013, as invert.R

One row per dataset, one cell per year, darker with more observations — the same strip the front
door draws per dataset. Each row ends with the name that dataset uses (dataset_taxon);
the accepted name is written once, in the title above. A quiet pill marks a name the authority does not accept.
