The distribution of seabirds and marine mammals in Falkland Islands waters 2002

Abstract

Data collected on the distribution of seabirds and marine mammals in the waters around the Falkland Islands between February 1998 and Jan­uary 2001 are presented.

Following the comple­tion of the first year of the project, a dispersion atlas Seabird and marine mammal dispersion in the waters around the Falkland Islands 1998–1999 (White et al. 1999) was produced. The present up­dated atlas adds considerably to survey coverage achieved during the first year and is the first step towards investigating the inter-annual variability in seabird and marine mammal dispersion within Falkland Islands waters.
