Adelie penguin occupancy survey of islands along the Knox Coast, 2011

An occupancy survey in December 2009-February 2010 and January 2011 found a total of 6 islands along the Knox coast had populations of breeding Adelie penguins. The survey in 2009/10 was conducted from a fixed wing aircraft and oblique aerial photographs were taken of occupied sites. The aerial photographs were geo-referenced to satellite images or the coastline shapefile from the Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica (LIMA, tile E157) and the boundaries of penguin colonies were digitised from the geo-referenced photos. Details for each island are:Merrit: Photographs taken on 1 February 2010 and geo-referenced to LIMA tile E157Cape Nutt: Photographs taken on 5 January 2010 and geo-referenced to a Quickbird satellite image taken on 17 February 2011Ivanoff Head: Photographs taken on 27 December 2009 and geo-referenced to LIMA tile E157Please refer to the Seabird Conservation Team Data Sharing Policy for use, acknowledgement and availability of data prior to downloading data.

2009年12月至2010年2月及2011年1月开展的栖息地占用调查显示，诺克斯海岸（Knox Coast）沿线共有6座岛屿分布有繁殖期阿德利企鹅（Adélie Penguin）种群。
2009/2010年度的调查采用固定翼飞机执行，对有企鹅栖息的区域拍摄了倾斜航空照片。随后将这些航空照片与卫星影像，或南极陆地卫星镶嵌影像（Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica, LIMA）E157幅块的海岸线形状文件进行地理配准，并从完成地理配准的照片中数字化出企鹅繁殖群落的边界。
各岛屿的详细信息如下：
