Tracking Data for Black Scoter (Melanitta americana)
March 23, 2020
This data release includes 2 child items with tracking data for Black Scoters, a sea duck species that breeds throughout higher latitudes of Alaska and Canada and winters along coastal areas of North America.
Child Item 1: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Black Scoters (Melanitta americana) - Processed Data" -- Quality-controlled data collected from Argos satellite transmitters.
Child Item 2: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Black Scoters (Melanitta americana) - Raw Data" -- All raw data collected from Argos satellite transmitters, provided for completeness of the archive. The quality-controlled, "Argos Processed Data" (Child Item 1) are better suited for most analytical purposes.

Visualizing populations of North American sea ducks: Maps to guide research and management planning
North American sea ducks generally breed in mid- to northern-latitude regions and nearly all rely upon marine habitats for much of their annual cycle. Most sea duck species remained poorly studied until the 1990s when declines were noted in several species and populations. Subsequent research, much of which was funded by the Sea Duck Joint Venture, began in the late 1990s with an...
