| Lineage | ARGOS satellite tags were deployed on 24 adult female Southern elephant seals over the period 2009-2011 by the Elephant Seal Research Group (lead researcher Filippo Galimberti) on Sea Lion Island. The raw ARGOS locations of the animals were provided as individual excel files (one per animal) by Filippo. Hence, 24 excel files were cleaned, and lat, long and data and time were reformatted and shapefile created. They were merged and reformatted to be transformed in a single shapefile that contains all locations within the Falklands' EEZ and a 50km buffer around it. The PTT numbe indicates each different animal. |
