Gulf Watch Alaska Nearshore Component: Marine Bird and Mammal Survey Data from Katmai National Park and Preserve and Kenai Fjords National Park, 2012-2016

These data are part of the Gulf Watch Alaska (GWA) long term monitoring program, nearshore monitoring component. The dataset is a series of comma separated files exported from a survey software program (DLog, Ford Consulting, Portland, OR). The data consists of date, time, latitude, longitude, species abbreviation, count, and behavior. Each year the observers attempt to sample the same set of transects although weather, tide state and other factors can interfere with this goal. Transects are in Alaska and include locations in Katmai National Park and Preserve and Kenai Fjords National Park. Other researchers conduct similar surveys in Prince William Sound. The time interval includes 2012-2016.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: TransType
Attribute_Definition:

Transect type, most GWA surveys only included nearshore sampling, however there were occasions when offshore/pelagic transects were sampled. This field designates whether the transect was nearshore/coastal or offshore/pelagic.

Attribute_Definition_Source: producer defined
Attribute_Domain_Values:

Enumerated_Domain:

Enumerated_Domain_Value: COASTAL
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:

Transect from shore to 200 meters offshore, following contours of coast. Also called a Coastal transect in some files.

Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition_Source: producer defined

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: TransWidth
Attribute_Definition:

Transect width, the width transect sampled was determined by the size of the vessel used- larger vessels allowed observers to be higher off the water and thus get a better view. Observers sampled a 200-300 meter band, often with the vessel in the middle, but sometimes off-centered. A coastal transect therefore went from shore to 200 or 300 meters off shore regardless of where the vessel was. Pelagic transects were split evenly with the vessel in the middle.

Attribute_Definition_Source: producer defined
Attribute_Domain_Values:

Enumerated_Domain:

Enumerated_Domain_Value: 200m
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:

200 meter wide transect. This means the survey vessel was approximately 25 feet or less so the survey window observers counted species in was 200 meters wide.

Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition_Source: producer defined

Attribute_Domain_Values:

Enumerated_Domain:

Enumerated_Domain_Value: 300m
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:

300 meter wide transect. This means the survey vessel was 50 feet or larger so observers watched a 300 meter wide swath while surveying.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: TransWidth
Attribute_Definition:

transect width, the width transect sampled was determined by the size of the vessel used- larger vessels allowed observers to be higher off the water and thus get a better view. Observers sampled a 200-300 meter band, often with the vessel in the middle, but sometimes off-centered. A coastal transect therefore went from shore to 200 or 300 meters off shore regardless of where the vessel was. Pelagic transects were split evenly with the vessel in the middle.

Overview_Description:

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:

This data is a collection of comma separated files. There is typically one file per survey containing the records of many transects. A survey consists of all the transects from a given block from a given year. The files contain the observations of species and the points automatically recorded by the GPS.

Files contain the following columns: latitude, longitude, hour, minute, second, month, day, year, trip identification, transect number, record type, record number, species, count, behavior, comment, on-off transect, transect type, transect width, Beaufort state, number of observers, left and right observer initials, left and right observer conditions.
