Replicate spring-time (May - June) vessel-based surveys in the Western Mediterranean during standardized trawl surveys of the Spanish continental shelf and slope over three years (1999. 2000. 2002). provide broad-scale information on seabird distributions from the Strait of Gibraltar to Cape Creus.To study the distribution and oceanographic habitat of seabirds in the Western Mediterranean during the spring (May - June) of multiple years. Surveys were conducted onboard B/O ?Cornide de Saavedra? research vessel. as part of the annual MEDITS (http://www.izor.hr/eng/international/medits.html) trawl surveys. extending along the Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula. from the Strait of Gibraltar in the SW to Cape Creus in the NE.
