Survey sample design data for Kanuti NWR's Scoter/Scaup aerial breeding pair survey

Description

This record contains geospatial datasets related to the sample design for Kanuti National Wildlife Refuge's aerial breeding pair survey of scaup and scoters. This includes a GPX file for use in a GPS unit by the survey pilot. This includes the 40 endpoints for the 20 transect lines of Kanuti's scaup/scoter survey. The file also includes route info (1 "polyline") that connects the transect endpoints such that the transect lines are visible to the pilot. This reference also contains a zipped folder with multiple shapefiles related to the survey transects and study area. Within the zipped folder, KanutiScaupScoterArea.shp contains a polygon representing the sampling area for the survey. KanutiOriginal_10_Scoter_lines.shp contains polyline features for the original 10 transects where the survey is conducted. KanutiAlternate_10_Scoter_lines.shp contains polyline features for 10 alternative transects for the survey that were implemented beginning in 2017. Additionally, this reference contains a link to the ArcGIS Online feature service containing authoritative inventory and monitoring site locations. The feature layers can be filtered to where PRIMR_ID='FF07RKAN00-037' to subset the data to features relevant to this specific survey. Information on how to carry out the survey may be found in the cross-referenced protocol narrative (ServCat reference 178482).
