Bird Density and Marine Mammal Counts Based on 7700 Meter Bins in Southern California, 1999-2002

Tracklines and associated observations were mapped and analyzed using ArcMap (ESRI, Redlands, CA). GPS data were recorded in NAD27 map datum and projected to an USGS Albers Equal Area Conic map projection for presentation and subsequent density analyses. Concatenated GPS and observation data were then used to generate point and line coverages in ArcMap (ESRI, Redlands, CA). We designed a custom analytic tool using ArcMap Model Builder that allows for the construction and export of user-specified and effort-adjusted spatial binning of species observations along continuous trackines. For the purposes of this report, we calculated seabird density estimates and marine mammal counts along continuous 3.0-kilometer and...

Number of Threatened Marine Mammal Species by Marine Ecoregion

Number of globally threatened marine mammal species, by marine ecoregion. Using the online IUCN resource, the threatened species for each ecoregion were filtered for marine species only. Threatened species refer to those listed by IUCN Red List as Vulnerable, Endangered, or Critically Endangered (www.redlist.org). We downloaded the digital GIS data and summarized it by marine ecoregion to result in the number of threatened species per marine ecoregion. These data were derived by The Nature Conservancy, and were displayed in a map published in The Atlas of Global Conservation (Hoekstra et al., University of California Press, 2010).

Database of Marine Mammal and Seabird Research Activity in the Pacific (US)

This database is a compilation of marine mammal and seabird information collected along the Pacific coast of the United States and U.S. territories in the Pacific from surveys that were solicited among regional research communities and persons. Information from standardized surveys was gathered from 2015 to 2018 and includes programs and researchers who collected information regarding seabirds since 1960. These data support the following publication: Adams, J., Lafferty, K.D., Kelsey, E.C., and Johnston, C.A. 2019. Synopsis of Research Programs that can Provide Baseline and Monitoring Information for Offshore Energy Activities in the Pacific Region: Seabird and Marine Mammal Surveys in the Pacific Region.

Pacific Walrus Coastal Haulout Database 1852-2016

We summarize available information on Pacific walrus haulouts from available reports, interviews with coastal residents and aviators, and personal observations of the authors. We provide this in the form of a georeferenced database that may be queried and displayed with standard geographic information system and database management software. The database contains 150 records of Pacific walrus haulouts, with a summary of basic characteristics on maximum haulout size, age-sex composition, season of use, and decade of most recent use. Citations to reports are provided as a bibliographic database.

Diet Estimates of Southern Beaufort Sea Polar Bears, 2004-2016

These were data collected from polar bears from the southern Beaufort Sea during the spring between 2004 and 2016. Data include individual bear identification, age and sex class, capture date, capture year, open water season lengths, melt season length, and diet composition (expressed as a percentage of prey species). These data were used to determine whether polar bear diets have recently changed or remained stable over time.

At Sea Surveys of Seabirds and Marine Mammals

Aerial at-sea and coastal surveys were conducted to examine the distribution and abundance of seabirds and marine mammals off Southern California, from Cambria, California to the Mexican border. From May 1999 to January 2002, nine complete aerial surveys were flown on 102 days, covering over 54,640 km of transects, of the entire Southern California Bight (Bight) during January, May, and September. A total of 135,545 birds were counted and identified, comprising fifty four species, in 12 families.This file contains the species observations summarized as densities based on 5 minute blocks of latitude and longitude. Surveys were flown at 60 m (200 ft) above sea level at 160 km/hr (90 knots) ground speed. The surveys...
