À propos
Résumé de l’ensemble de données
Long-term data on the abundance and distribution of waterbird species along the Atlantic coastline. Regional programs (NL, NB, NS) brought together under one data platform with aligning protocols.
Saison(s) et fréquence
Monthly during winter
Région géographique couverte
Atlantic coastlines (Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island)
Principales espèces couvertes
Waterbirds
Objectifs
The ACCWS has the following specific objectives: to assess the annual changes and long-term trends in population size and distribution of coastal waterbirds in Atlantic Canada, to collect data that contribute to population estimates of coastal waterbird species in Atlantic Canada, and to advance our understanding of the ecology and the effects of human activity on coastal waterbirds in Atlantic Canada.
Méthodologie
Plan d’échantillonnage
Sites largely picked by coordinators on headlands or accessible sections of coast where waterbird viewing is possible.
Méthodes de terrain
Observers count all waterbirds, by species, at regular intervals at specific locations so that coordinated information on distribution and migration over a broad area can be acquired. Surveys are conducted as close to high tide as possible, and in the same manner each time.
