Megafauna key areas in the EEZ of the Falkland Islands

The dataset shows the summed distribution of annual core-use areas of 30 species of seabirds and seals. A core-use index (from 1 - highest value to 0 very little use) quantify the cell grid (10km) and it was derived from scoring species' threatened status and % of world population in the Falkland Islands. Individual species layers are available on request (FK-SAERI-353).

Lineage	The megafauna key areas dataset was obained by integrating all the individual species layers produced during the species level analyses. The dataset indicates areas that are important to megafauna and provides managers with an overview of how marine megafauna uses the Falklands' waters in order to consider in the context of all other characteristics of the marine environment: environmental, social and cultural. The dataset was develop in the context of the Marine Spatial Planning project funded by the Darwin Initiative Plus.
