Dataset specification
- Title: MarineBasis Nuuk - Seabirds - Seabird species counts per colony
- Description: Annual counts at several locations with breeding seabirds within, or just outside, the Nuuk fjord system since 2006. Seabirds:Seabirds MarineBasis Nuuk:The MarineBasis programme collects physical, chemical and biological data from the Greenland coastal zone. Work is focused around three fjord systems, all influenced by glaciers connected to the Greenland Ice Sheet.
