List of all seabird and pinniped tracking datasets in the Falkland Islands EEZ. Notice that the raw/processed data listed in the file should be requested to Bird Life International.

The file is a list containing the details of all identified tracking datasets for seabirds and pinnipeds using the Falkland Islands' EZZ. The datasets were found using a range of sources (FIG research licences, scientific publications, reports). The list was produced as part of the Darwin Plus- funded project 'Marine Spatial Planning for the Falkland Islands' (July 2014-July 2016).

Lineage All data were requested as part of the MSP project, in collaboration with the BirdLife Seabird Tracking Database. During the process, all the seabird dataset owners that agreed to provide data for the MSP project were requested to add their data to the tracking database (therefore most datasets can be requested directly to the owner at http://www.seabirdtracking.org/). More details can be found on the MSP report (Aug?, Lascelles and Dias (2015). Methodology to identify important areas for marine megafauna: Workshop report. South Atlantic Environmental Research Institute, Stanley, Falkland Islands).
