41001 Estimated seabird abundance Entity Published / External 38956 NOAA ESRI Grid - predictions of relative seabird abundance in the New York offshore planning area made by the NOAA Biogeography Branch Data Set Completed Estimated seabird abundance from spatial statistical models developed by the NOAA Biogeography Branch. We operationally define seabirds as all avian species regularly sighted over marine waters. Given this definition, most species included in this chapter belong to the following taxonomic orders: Charadriiformes (gulls, terns, auks, phalaropes), Pelecaniformes (gannets, pelicans, and cormorants), and Procellariiformes (shearwaters, fulmars, petrels). Relative abundance is defined as the number of individual seabirds sighted per square kilometer per 15 minutes. | Description Source: NOAA Converted from FGDC using 'fgdc_to_inport_xml_entity.pl' script. gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:41001 Tyler Christensen 2017-04-06T10:31:50 SysAdmin InPortAdmin 2022-08-09T17:11:24 2017-04-17 National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science NCCOS 1002 Public No 2017-04-17 1 Year 2018-04-17
