Description:
Abstract:
These data describe marine bird and mammal surveys conducted in glacial fjords of coastal Alaska. Data were collected to document the at-sea distribution and abundance of marine birds and mammals in Glacier Bay National Park (2004), Prince William Sound (2010), Icy Bay (2011) and Yakutat Bay (2011). Following standard US Fish and Wildlife protocols for strip surveys.
Purpose:
The purpose of this data is to understand the relationship of marine bird and mammal distribution and abundance to the fjord ecosystem.
Supplemental_Information:
The overarching goal of this work was to compare and contrast the influence of glacier runoff on fjord ecosystems across the Gulf of Alaska. We sought to 1) describe the magnitude and horizontal range of influence of key near-surface physical characteristics associated with glacial runoff in coastal marine waters, and 2) characterize the distribution and response of lower- to upper-trophic level organisms relative to glacially influenced habitat gradients. This dataset is one of several types of data collected concurrently, including physical (conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD), nutrients) and biological (zooplankton, fish and marine birds) variables from the same sampling locations (detailed in project metadata).

Analytical_Tool_Description:
Marine bird surveys following standard US Fish and Wildlife protocols for strip surveys, counting all birds within 150 meters of the vessel (300 m strip) on the RECON with DLOG software or a toughbook with DLOG software. A RECON is a handheld collection computer that uses the Windows CE platform, the DLOG software facilitates the collection of seabird and marine mammal distribution data on strip surveys at sea. This raw data includes flying birds.

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The quality of all data and metadata are reviewed by the USGS as part of its standard internal procedures for quality control and quality assurance. Surveys in all years were conducted with two observers and a data recorder, observations were identified to species or Genus, conditions were recorded continuously using DLog seabird data logging software (R.G. Ford Consulting Co., Portland, OR). Locations of observation are accurate to within several meters, or whatever the GPS accuracy estimate was when the points were recorded. All data and metadata go through and USGS internal review for error and clarity checks. Estimated bird densities are not comparable with other seabird censuses due to the slow vessel speeds while trawling (2-3 knots).
Logical_Consistency_Report: NA
Completeness_Report:
These data were collected in different locations and different years, the data set is complete, any variation in equipment or methods amongst years/location are noted.
