Dataset of Larval dispersal simulations of marine benthic invertebrates around New Zealand

Dataset generated from biophysical simulations modelling larval dispersal around New Zealand with OpenDrift and the Moana Hindcast Backbone from 15 different locations and 4 different maximum PLD lengths. 

Within each file, the first 2 columns are a particles starting co-ordinates, columns 3 and 4 are ending co-ordinates, column 5 was state at the end of simulations (contact Charles Michie for more information), and column 6 is the origin.

Abbreviations for locations: LMR - Leigh Marine Reserve, CTC - Cathedral Cove, RKK - Rongokako, CST - Castlepoint, ISB - Island Bay, KAI - Kaikoura, SPO - Seal Point, HMB - Half Moon Bay, DBS - Doubtful Sound, JSB - Jackson Bay, CFW - Cape Foulwind, OKB - Okiwi Bay, CPE - Cape Egmont, PIH - Piha Beach, CPR - Cape Reinga (also called FRN - Far North elsewhere).
