Summary

A survey area polygon was constructed and used to create a series of survey transects bounded by the polygon. The polygon was created in ArcGIS (can also be built in Google Maps or Google Earth). The AeroScientific software FlightPlanner used this polygon to create transects within the polygon. See linked document for detailed instructions for these processes.

Purpose

This systematic transect-based “overhead” photographic survey was conducted to test the feasibility of using transect-based surveys to estimate numbers of Pacific Steller’s eiders. If successful, overhead surveys will be used to generate an independent estimate of eider abundance to contrast with the oblique photographic method and to better understand the distribution of flocks, particularly small flocks.
