Megafauna key areas of individual species (seabirds and pinnipeds) in the EEZ of the Falkland Islands

The dataset shows the distribution of annual core-use areas of 30 species of seabirds and pinnipeds on 10 km cell grid. The values range from 0 to 100 and reflect the percentage of animals in the Falkland Islands population using the cell.

Lineage The dataset was obtained by analysing (density kernel analysis) tracking data for 30 species of seabirds and pinnipeds that live in the Falklands' waters. Seabirds were divided into long-range, short-range flying birds and penguins. The rasters files generated from the kernel analysis were generalised into a grid with cells of 10km side. Values ranging from 0 to 100 were attributed to each cell indicating the "high-low" use of the areas represented by the cell.
