| Summary: | Progress Code: completed Statement: Before the 2006/2007 collection season, Aleks Terauds, the technical officer primarily responsible for collating these data and putting together this metadata record changed jobs and left DPIW. As a result there are some differences in the data submitted after his departure. Data submitted for the 2006/2007 season are contained in excel spreadsheets, and not in the Access database previously used. Taken from the 2008-2009 Progress Report: Difficulties affecting project: Ongoing funding and access to the island continues to present difficulties in planning logistics and personnel for the project. It is anticipated that continued limited berths will make planning problematic. It is understood that the eradication program shall require significant numbers of berths and station resources. However, as the current program includes fundamental elements of work that are central to seabird monitoring associated with the eradication program (e.g. monitoring of impacts on giant petrel population status as a result of secondary poisoning and associated changes in predator/prey balances) I am hopeful that the field requirements of this program shall continue to be supported. 2019-10-15 Note regarding data release: These data are collected as part of a long-term multispecies monitoring program. Over time, small errors may be detected and corrected between database versions. The current Access database contains some known errors originating from the merging of multiple databases. The project investigators are in the process of updating this database and consequently the attached data may contain some duplications or mismatches that will be amended in future versions. Databases (Wandering, Black-browed, Light-mantled Sooty and Grey-headed albatrosses, Northern Giant Petrels and Southern Giant Petrels): These databases summarise all banding and resight information that has been collected from these species during the years that the albatross project has been run on Macquarie Island.
