Summary

GIS layers showing the abundance and distribution of seabirds in welsh waters. The datasets consists of the raw data showing observations of all seabirds and derived grids showing the density of flying and sitting species on a 3km grid scale and the survey coverage. The purpose of this data capture was to collate data from ESAS and WWT Consulting databases to produce combined database of birds recorded from surveys of Welsh waters. Other sources identified were also consulted to produce the most complete representation of the observed distribution of seabirds.
