Birds of the Offshore Canadian Beaufort Sea: Database and Atlas

Data on the offshore occurence (distribution and abundance) of birds in the Canadian Beaufort Sea were scattered among many often unpublished sources, in different formats, and collected using different fields methods. The purpose of this project is to collect and organize those data into a standardized, geo-referenced database for use in the assessment of environmental effects of offshore oil and gas activities and other research. Also, this database can serve as the standard format, and the central storage location, for future data collection.
