Telemetry data obtained from Fastloc GPS/GSM tracking of 10 harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) captured from Kenmare Bay and 16 grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) captured from the Blasket islands (Republic of Ireland), from 2006 to 2014

Tracking data of 10 harbour seals and 16 grey seals were obtained from the deployment of Fastloc GPS/GSM tags developed by the Sea Mammal Research Unit (UK). Full tag description is available at: http://www.smru.st-andrews.ac.uk/Instrumentation/GPSPhoneTag/. The tags include a wet-dry sensor from which haulout events are recorded, a pressure sensor providing detailed dive data, as well as a Fastloc GPS recording irregular locations when the seal is not underwater. Data is stored onboard and transmitted via the GSM network when the seal is in the reception range. The data provided here are the individual GPS locations, dive parameters and haulouts of the seals fitted with these tags

本数据集收录了10头港海豹与16头灰海豹的追踪数据，该类数据由英国海洋哺乳动物研究部（Sea Mammal Research Unit, SMRU）研发的Fastloc GPS/GSM标记项圈（Fastloc GPS/GSM tag）部署获取。完整的标记项圈技术说明可访问以下链接查阅：http://www.smru.st-andrews.ac.uk/Instrumentation/GPSPhoneTag/。该标记项圈搭载了干湿传感器，可记录海豹的上岸停留事件（haulout event）；配备压力传感器以采集高精度潜水数据；同时集成Fastloc GPS模块，可在海豹未处于水下时记录非规则定位位置。数据会先存储于项圈内置存储器中，当海豹处于GSM网络信号覆盖范围内时，数据将通过GSM网络回传。本数据集提供的内容为佩戴此类标记项圈的海豹的个体GPS定位数据、潜水参数以及上岸停留记录。
