<p>This dataset is comprised of six files related to waterbird surveys and resulting Index of Waterbird Community Integrity (IWCI) scores in 21 subestuaries of the Chesapeake Bay from 2010-2014. Two .csv files (1 data file: Prosser et al 2017_IWCI Results MS_Bird Survey Raw Data.csv, 1 definitions file: Prosser et al 2017_IWCI Results MS_Bird Survey Raw Data_Definitions.csv) contain data related to raw waterbird survey data from two seasons (summer and fall). Two .csv files (1 data file: Prosser et al 2017_IWCI Results MS_Species List.csv, 1 definitions file: Prosser et al 2017_IWCI Results MS_Species List_Definitions.csv) contain data related to 60+ Chesapeake waterbird species observed in surveys and their species attribute and IWCI scores. Two .csv files (1 data file: Prosser et al 2017_IWCI Results MS_Scores &amp; Delineations by Site.csv, 1 definitions file: Prosser et al 2017_IWCI Results MS_Scores &amp; Delineations by Site_Definitions.csv) contain data related to IWCI scores and shoreline/land use delineations for the 21 subestuaries of the Chesapeake Bay.</p>
