184 distinct species

Across the time series Larus occidentalis is the most frequently occurring species

Methods

Data were collected aboard research vessels using standardized marine bird and mammal survey techniques (Tasker et al. 1984. Buckland et al. 1993). Marine birds and mammals were observed in a 90-degree arc from the bow to one side of the ship out to 300m. Counts are summarized by species and behavior along the transects in 3 km bins. Each sighting is a total of all of the birds/mammals of that species and behavior seen in an area (approx. 3 km long and 300m wide). Unit of abundance = IndCountInt, Unit of biomass = NA
