The most recent version of this database contains over two million records which were collected over 25 years.The founding aim of this project was to merge data from different collaborators and use these to publish an atlas depicting vulnerable concentrations of seabirds to oil pollution. Subsequently, these data have been used for a wide variety of research purposes. The collaboration has also developed and defined common standards in data capture, processing and storage.[2015-03-24] A few records had a wrong animal count of zero. The value is replaced with a blank representing species presence only. This dataset represents a subset of version 4.1 of the ESAS database, which is composed of three related tables. As some attributes from the original dataset are dropped in the public view, certain records may appear as duplicate observations. This, however, is not the case, as these records will have varying attribute values in the original database (e.g., age/plumage/behavior, etc.) and should therefore be treated as separate entities.<br><br> Species notes:<br> Species EURING code 462 (noted [sp_obs] field in the dataset) is <i>Puffinus puffinus mauretanicus</i>. As ITIS doesn't register this species, it is represented as <i>Puffinus puffinus</i> (TSN 174555), instead.<br> Species EURING code 460 (noted the [sp_obs] field in the dataset) is <i>Puffinus puffinus</i> whose counterpart in ITIS is also <i>Puffinus puffinus</i> (TSN 174555).<br><br> This dataset includes multiple trips whose survey methods vary.
