The Atlantic Colonial Waterbird Monitoring database captures geo-referenced data collected under the Atlantic Region\u2019s Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS) Colonial Seabird Monitoring program, and data collected under CWS\u2019 waterfowl and protected areas programs. These programs collectively monitor 22 species of colonial waterbirds breeding in the Atlantic Region of the following groups: fulmars, shearwaters, storm-petrels, gannets, gulls, terns, alcids, eiders, herons and cormorants, with the primary outcome to update information on the distribution, status, and trends of waterbirds breeding in all four Atlantic provinces. <\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "This dataset represents a subset of data collected from surveys led by CWS spanning from 1910 to 2024 and summarized to present, at a given colony, the year and count of birds from the most recent survey, the year and maximum count of birds within the last 20 years (if available), and the year and maximum count of birds ever recorded.
