Pacific Walrus Coastal Haulout Database 1852-2016
This dataset contains a summary of available information about 150 Pacific walrus haulouts. The data were compiled from available reports (published and unpublished), interviews with coastal residents and aviators, and the personal observations of the authors. Each record provides summary characteristics, including: location information, maximum haulout size, age-sex composition, season of use, and decade of most recent use. Bibliographic citations to reports are provided in an additional file. Background information about this database is available in a companion publication (USGS Open-File Report 2016-1108): https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20161108
