Midway Atoll Albatross Survey Sectors
Description
Three albatross species breed at Midway Atoll: black-footed (Phoebastria nigripes), Laysan (P. immutabilis), and short-tailed (P. albatrus). This dataset contains the boundaries of survey area sectors used during the USFWS albatross censuses at Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. The entire area of the atoll is divided into 61 unequal-area sectors. Sector boundaries were established by the USFWS. USGS digitzed the sector boundaries using satellite imagery and data points collected during the 2011-2012 albatross breeding season (hatch year 2012).
