This dataset contains counts of adult and juvenile (non-pup) Steller sea lions on rookeries and haul-outs in Alaska made between 1904 and 2015, and counts of Steller sea lion pups from 1961 - 2019. Counts and corresponding geographic coordinates were collected by observers from terrestrial, aerial, ship, and unoccupied aircraft surveys. Counts of Steller sea lion locations are used to monitor trends in the population and used in the development of population models. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:AFSC-StellerSeaLion Preview graphic PNG 0128189 0128190 0129877 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2016-05-20 publication ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL - COUNTS biological data LATITUDE LONGITUDE MARINE MAMMALS VERTEBRATES theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS camera GPS photograph visual observation instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS aerial photography biological in situ marine mammal observation survey survey - biological visual estimate visual observation theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS AIRCRAFT RV Tiglax platform NODC PLATFORM NAMES THESAURUS Alaska State Department of Fish and Game NOAA Alaska Fisheries Science Center, Marine Mammal Laboratory NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS NOAA Alaska Fisheries Science Center, Marine Mammal Laboratory dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS STELLER SEA LION RESEARCH project NODC PROJECT NAMES THESAURUS Bering Sea Bering Sea - Coastal Waters of Western Alaska Bering Sea - Norton Sound Coastal Waters of California Coastal Waters of Southeast Alaska and British Columbia Coastal Waters of Washington/Oregon Gulf of Alaska Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary North Pacific Ocean Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary Prince William Sound (Gulf of Alaska) place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NODC > National Oceanographic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce DOC/NOAA/NMFS/AFSC/MML > Marine Mammal Laboratory, Alaska Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce DOC/NOAA/NMFS/SWFSC > Southwest Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
