Statement
The data were collected by GPS survey by Eric Woehler (AAD) using a Garmin 12XL receiver (not differentially corrected) during the 2000/2001 field season. The point data (q_info=386) represent nesting sites of flying birds and penguins. Polygon data (q_info=386) represent flying bird and penguin colony extents. The shapefile data are formatted according to the SCAR Feature Catalogue. Usually mapped to a Universal Transverse Mercator projection, Zone 43.
