Quantitative ground and aerial surveys of shorebirds, and significant breeding colonies for the Top End of the Northern Territory (NT), sourced from the Parks and Wildlife Service of the Northern Territory (PWSNT). At time of collating this report, some gaps were apparent in the data provided. Data exist from 1990-1999, but records from 2000-2003 are missing.
Data source from TERN geoserver https://acef.tern.org.au/geoserver/ - layer acef-default:NTSeaBirdColoniesSpecies3This dataset was downloaded from OBIS (https://obis.org/). The records for only marine mammals, seabirds, sea turtles and rays and sharks were extracted. Records with no longitude/latitude or no date (eventDate) were excluded.
