Seabird distribution monitoring

The present dataset contains information on the population density of seabirds in the German offshore areas based on a 10x10 km grid (EU-GRID). The density [individuals/km²] is determined for each grid cell by adding the number of individuals at the counting points within the respective grid cell and dividing by the sum of the effort at the counting points. Individual layers show the distribution of seabirds in the respective year by season (March - May: spring; June - August: summer; September - November: autumn; December - February: winter). In addition to the seabird density, the density of the sighted young animals is also determined. The surveys are carried out by the umbrella organization of German avifaunists (DDA). A more detailed description of the methodology can be found in the BfN monitoring reports (https://www.bfn.de/vertebrate).
