Summary

These are the geospatial files used to construct the transects (the survey polygon) and the transect files themselves, created and exported using AeroScientific software. These files include:Survey area polygon (.xml file created from an ArcGIS mxd), survey transects (.xml and .fpl files), both created in AeroScientific’s FlightPlanner software as described in record 2.

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.
