The southern giant petrel (SGP) data is from an island-wide census conducted on Macquarie Island by Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service during February and March 2023. The focus of the census was SGP chicks only and includes the number of chicks observed. Point data with eastings and northings was provided in CSV format by Julie McInnes, Research Associate. Attribute data was provided by Sam Thalmann, Wildlife Biologist, Department of Natural Resources and Environment Tasmania. Points indicate the location from where the SGP chick observations were made. The CSV data were imported into ArcGIS Pro and converted to latitude and longitude coordinates and are available in the attached GeoPackage.
