Attribute Summary

Rubric Score Primary Key? Name Type Description
100
sitename Text Corresponds to sitenames listed in Site Description table with geographic coordinates found at NCEI Accession 0129877.
100
regionnumb Number Region identifier code corresponding to Steller sea lion metapopulation area: 5 = Southeast Alaska, 6 = Eastern Gulf of Alaska 7 = Central Gulf of Alaska 8 = Western Gulf of Alaska 9 = Eastern Aleutian Islands 10 = Central Aleutian Islands 11 = Western Aleutian Islands 12 = Bering Sea
100
trendsite Number 0 - not a trend site, 1 - is a trend site
100
rookery Number 0 - not a rookery, 1 - is a rookery, 2 - special case, rookery but not a trend rookery
100
month NUMBER Numerical month of year; 1 - 12, 99 is missing
100
day NUMBER Day of month; 1 - 31, 99 is missing
100
year NUMBER Four digit year
100
pupcount NUMBER Live pups only, does not include pups dead at time of count. A zero in the pupcount field means the site was surveyed and no sea lions were present. If a site was not surveyed in a given year it is not included in the database; there are no records with the field blank.
100
counttype NUMBER Numerical code for how count was obtained: 1 = aerial photo (35mm) 2 = medium-format (5 inch) aerial photo 3 = aerial photo (digital) 4 = aerial, visual estimate 5 = beach/ground count 6 = viewpoint observations 7 = count from skiff nearshore 8 = count from ship offshore 9 = other (explain in comments) 10 = UAV/UAS/drone photos 99 = unknown or not specified
100
source NUMBER Numeric code for count source: 1 = NMFS/AFSC/Marine Mammal Laboratory 2 = Alaska Department of Fish and Game 3 = Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife 4 = Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife 5 = NMFS/Southwest Fisheries Science Center 6 = Canada Department of Fisheries and Oceans 7 = other (explain in comments) 99 = unknown or not specified
100
replicate Number Coded; = "1" if replicate count (different day) during the same survey, "0" or blank otherwise. If there are replicate counts for a site, all counts for that site are marked "1". Beginning in 2010, there are multiple counts at the same site with the same date. These are the raw counts of more than one counter using aerial photos, and in these cases, the replicate field is marked 0. Note that starting in 2002, individual counters; counts during beach/ground counts are listed in the Comments, and again Replicate is 0.
100
counter Text Initials of counter (of photo/image), started in 2010.

comments Text Clarification of "counttype", "source", or "count" as necessary)
