Abstract
Full Abstract:
The Full Coast bird observations for the Atlantic Winter Sea Duck Survey, which was conducted from 2008-2014. This dataset includes the location of each species observation along with the number counted for all ‘full coast’ surveys, i.e., excluding regional surveys in the mid-Atlantic and along the southern coast. The full coast surveys were the Atlantic Coast Winter Sea Duck survey and the Atlantic Marine Assessment Program for Protected Species. Note: including regional surveys in analysis of distribution and abundance along the coast over-weights the importance of intensively surveyed regions, even accounting for effort, due to the inability of the current effort to distinguish true from apparent zeros.
