GPS locations of Northern Gannets season 2014

Marine turtles, birds, mammals abundance and distribution

Since 2012, the Laboratoire d'ornithologie marine de Rimouski (LOMR) has implemented an annual monitoring program of the feeding behaviour of gannets (Morus bassanus) nesting in Bonaventure Island and Percé Rock National Park (more specifically on Bonaventure Island). The LOMR is directed by Magella Guillemette (professor at the Université du Québec à Rimouski) in collaboration with David Pelletier (professor at the Cégep de Rimouski). Several dozen college and university students (undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate) participated in collecting these data.

The data in this dataset is from 2014. On the SLGO catalogue, you will find datasets up to 2017. More recent data can be requested from LOMR by contacting the authors of the data.

The locations were recorded using GPS data loggers, programmed at a frequency of 10 minutes and attached to the bird's tails with Tesa brand marine grade white tape.
