Description:
Abstract:
These data are part of the Gulf Watch Alaska (GWA) long-term monitoring program. This dataset consists of observations of sea otter (Enhydra lutris) fecal samples (spraint). Observers examined fresh spraint piles to identify major prey classes in the samples and to determine sea otter diets in the Gulf of Alaska region.
Purpose:
The purpose of this dataset is to allow comparisons of sea otter spraint data metrics across time and geographic location. Metrics include: predominance and presence/absence of major prey categories. Comparisons also include metrics from one location over time or from one time across locations. Sampling was conducted within regions of Alaska including: Kachemak Bay (KBAY), Kenai Peninsula (KEP; Kenai Fjords National Park (KEFJ)), Alaska Peninsula (AKP; Katmai National Park and Preserve (KATM)), and Prince William Sound (PWS; northern [NPWS] and western Prince William Sound).

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
These data are presence and absence information based on visual examination of spraint (fecal) samples. Only fresh, intact samples were examined. Predominant designation (greater than 50 percent of the sample) was also based on visual examination of each sample after they were spread out by the observer. After returning from the field, all data was entered in the Microsoft Access database and rows were checked against field data sheets for missing values, outliers, and inconsistencies.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
All attribute values fall within expected ranges and duplicate data does not exist in the dataset.
Completeness_Report: The dataset is complete and no data were omitted.
Positional_Accuracy:

Methodology_Description:
Sea otter spraint (scat) was examined to determine the relative proportion of prey items and to provide supplemental information on the diet of sea otters. Spraint is generally found above the high tide line in areas where sea otters haul out, especially during winter. Observers recorded the relative abundance of various prey items within ten haphazardly selected spraint per site. Only spraint that was relatively fresh (with some organic material still present) was examined. Observers also noted the predominant prey item as well as the presence and approximate proportion of any other identifiable prey in each spraint sample.
