Summary

Short Citation
Alaska Fisheries Science Center, 2024: Spotted Seal Distribution, https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inport/item/28183.
Full Citation Examples

Abstract

This dataset contains GIS layers that depict the known spatial distributions (i.e., ranges) and reported breeding areas of spotted seals (Phoca largha). It was produced as part of a U.S. Endangered Species Act status review, which included delineating the species in question and assessing its risk of extinction within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range. Its boundaries are based on previously published range maps and/or descriptions of the species' distribution in published or unpublished accounts. All boundaries should be considered approximate.

Distribution Information

Access Constraints:

The data set is publicly available via REST web services. Users should acknowledge NOAA/NMFS/AFSC as the source from which these data were obtained and cite data as specified in any publications and/or other representations of these data. Communication and collaboration with dataset authors is strongly encouraged prior to use.

Use Constraints:

User must read and fully comprehend the metadata prior to use. Applications or inferences derived from the data should be carefully considered for accuracy. While every effort has been made to ensure that these data are accurate and reliable within the limits of the current state of the art, NOAA cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in the data, nor as a result of the failure of the data to function on a particular system.

Abstract:

This dataset contains GIS layers that depict the known spatial distributions (i.e., ranges) and reported breeding areas of spotted seals (Phoca largha). It was produced as part of a U.S. Endangered Species Act status review, which included delineating the species in question and assessing its risk of extinction within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range. Its boundaries are based on previously published range maps and/or descriptions of the species' distribution in published or unpublished accounts. All boundaries should be considered approximate.

Purpose:

This dataset was developed to create Figure 3 and its derivates in the Status Review of the Spotted Seal. All boundaries should be considered approximate.
