Annual Seabird Monitoring at Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge (FF07RAM000-027), Least Auklet Survival Data 2003-2025

Published by Fish and Wildlife Service | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 02:56 AM | Dataset Last Updated: February 12, 2026 at 12:00 AM
These relational tables represent data related to least auklet survival studies on St. George Island, Alaska, from 2003-2025. These data were collected using the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge Least Auklet survival protocol. Survival studies were not completed in 2020, therefore there is no data from 2020. Resight and banding/capture data were compiled from historic spreadsheets (2003-2023) into a single database, representing event data, capture/banding data, resight data, individual birds (organisms), and the histories of bands worn by those individual birds. Capture and resight data for 2024 were recorded using a Survey123 application to streamline data entry and management for this survey.
