This Atlas includes estimates of the breeding population size, location, and site-specific threats for surveyed colonies in the Lesser Antilles from 2001 to 2010. Through broadening partnerships and funding, our goal is to periodically update this dataset while also addressing threats identified at priority sites. The few data sets available for the Caribbean indicate that seabird populations are declining at alarming levels. As such, it is currently impractical to effectively prioritize and justify conservation projects to preserve the biodiversity of this region. Major causes for this decline include disturbance, habitat destruction, and predation. Some undocumented breeding populations have certainly disappeared without notice. Most Caribbean seabird populations are estimated using antiquated or incomplete records. By systematically documenting the breeding seabirds of the rapidly developing Lesser Antilles,this Atlas offers the first comprehensive regional perspective on seabird populations using consistent methodology. The dataset combines two separate data collection periods: 2001-2004 and 2009-2010 each of which has data in a different format. See the attributes definition for the format difference between the two periods.<br/> Invasives/threats data is provided in a separate CSV file and included in the download file (CSV format). The Atlas is also available in print and e-book formats, which contain contributed third-party information for the French Antilles, Antigua & Barbuda, and Barbados.Environmental Protection in the Caribbean2012-01-18 11:42:10-05seamap418vector digital datahttps://doi.org/10.82144/4a069887Version 1.0.0OBIS-SEAMAPhttp://seamap.env.duke.edu/dataset/418OBIS-SEAMAPground condition2001-01-232010-07-28CompleteNone planned-63.426873-60.87179518.58723411.982574-63.426873-60.87179511.98257418.587234PlatformLand-basedHabitatsUser definedwater-basedseabirdsbreeding pairsUser definedCaribbeanThe Lesser AntillesOpen public unless otherwise noted.Not to use data contained in OBIS-SEAMAP in any publication, product, or commercial application without prior written consent of the original data provider.
