Falkland Islands Seabird Monitoring Programme (FISMP)

The data series consists mainly of field counts, and some photo (drone and go-pro camera) counts, which were used to derive annual estimates of breeding pairs and breeding success at a number of breeding sites of Gentoo, Southern Rockhopper and Magellanic penguins; Imperial shags; Brown Skuas; Black-browed albatrosses and Souther Giant petrels. Monitoring sites are on East and West Falkland and on the outer islands. The sites have varied in number and location over the duration of the programme. The earliest data for a reported site are from 1990 and run to the present but other sites have been monitored over shorter timescales. The count of breeding pairs occurs also at various periods starting from October/early November and ending in early March.

Lineage	Repeated field counts of colonies by single or paired observers, or photo counts were used to derive an estimate of either 'apparently occupied nests' (breeding pairs) or 'pre-fledged chicks' (to derive breeding success). Breeding pair counts were conducted in late October/ early November and chick counts, used to derive breeding success, in early January (penguins) or late March (Black-browed albatrosses and Southern giant petrels). These data are on a database, but not all of them are accessible. The annual seabird data consists of a sigma plot spread sheet of total counts for sites.
