NODC Standard Format Marine Birds from Coastal Alaska and Puget Sound Data (1979): Marine Bird Surveys (F041) (NCEI Accession 0014160)
Marine Bird Surveys (F041) is one of a group of seven datasets related to Marine Birds from Coastal Alaska and Puget Sound Data (1979). Each dataset uses the NODC Taxonomic Code to indicate species.
Marine Bird Surveys (F041) data type contains data from field observations (land surveys) of marine birds and the environment in which they were sighted. These data are collected to provide information on population density and distribution. Position, date, start time, elapsed time and survey segment area and distance are recorded for each survey. The survey environment is described by vegetation type, geological characteristics, beach substrate, upland type, nearshore bathymetry, meteorological and tidal conditions. Species information includes number of individuals by age and sex. Information such as age, sex, location, condition, presence of oil and cause of death may also be reported for individual specimens. These data were collected in 1978 - 1979 for Puget Sound as part of the Marine EcoSystems Analysis (MESA) Puget Sound Project.
