41002 Estimated seabird diversity Entity Published / External 38957 NOAA ESRI Grid - predictions of seabird diversity in the New York offshore planning area made by the NOAA Biogeography Branch Data Set Completed Estimated seabird diversity 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). Diversity is reported as the common Shannon Diversity Index (Krebs, 1989). | Description Source: NOAA Converted from FGDC using 'fgdc_to_inport_xml_entity.pl' script. gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:41002 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
