Full description

Results from a February 2007 survey of the Vestfold Hills coastline and offshore islands for used and disused southern elephant seal wallows.

Polygons of moult haul out areas for male southern elephant seals in the Vestfold Hills. Polygons are based on point location data collected during a February 2007 survey of the coastline and offshore islands
The table below gives the coordinates (decimal degrees) for the locations found, their unofficial names and the area status, whether as used or disused at the time of survey.

Data were used in the 2018 Vestfold Hills/Davis Station Helicopter map:

Area name     Latitude    Longitude    Status
Hawker Island    -68.637360    77.840040    Used
Hawker Island    -68.634950    77.841310    Used
Hawker Island    -68.632180    77.841560    Used
Mule Island    -68.647860    77.825900    Unused
Mule Island    -68.646650    77.823920    Unused
Zappert Point    -68.505100    78.081020    Unused
Old Wallow    -68.598345    77.937185    Used
Davis beach    -68.577926    77.967032    Used
Heidemann Bay    -68.592067    77.945325    Used
Black Bluff    -68.571916    77.971011    Used

Point data were supplemented with polygon/shape files to define the limits of each haul out area where possible. This was done using on ground experience combined with digital mapping techniques

Lineage

Progress Code: completed
Statement: Point locations were collected with hand-held Garmin GPS. Polygons were drawn with better than 2 m accuracy.

Notes

Purpose
