Original provider: Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife Abstract: The metadata edits are in progress. Please contact the contact person for detail. Aerial surveys of marine birds have been conducted annually since 1992 by the Puget Sound Ambient Monitoring Program (PSAMP) staff during both a summer (July) and a winter (December to early February) survey window, sampling some part of every portion of the marine shoreline of the inner marine waters of Washington state by two strata: nearshore (< 20 meters in depth) and offshore (> 20 meters in depth). The datasets are split by season (summer or winter) and year.
