Metadata details
Seabirds_AAT
All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

Description
Distribution and abundance of breeding seabirds in the AAT.
This dataset comprises a broad range of component datasets derived from ground surveys aerial photography and oblique photography.
Aerial and oblique photography has been used to obtain supplementary information on distribution and abundance of seabirds in the region.
Recent surveys, 2000/01 onwards, have made use of GPS for more precise geographic information on seabird nests and colonies.
At present there are a number of child metadata records attached to this record. See the link above for details.
Quality
Values provided in temporal coverage are approximate only.
