Lineage survey conducted by two people walking along 36 km of coastline which was split into 13 transect of variable length. The survey was carried out between 9AM and 4.30PM in favourable weather. Species and numbers of all bird and seal species were recorded up to 100 metres to seaward of high water and 25 metres inland from high water. The breeding status was assessed on number of individuals recorded, behaviour, habitat, time of year and surveyors experience. Additional data recorded are: non native invasive species (vertebrates, plants) based on field signs, weather (wind strength and direction, precipitation, cloud cover), livestock grazing, dominant habitat and shoreline types. Codes were used for species and breeding status and definitions are provided with the data
