SOP 14: Transect Redefinition (KM-A Update) version 1.0, SEAN/GLBA Kittlitz's murrelet monitoring program
Johnson W. 2010. SOP 14: Transect Redefinition (KM-A Update) version 1.0, SEAN/GLBA Kittlitz's murrelet monitoring program. NPS SEAN. Juneau, Alaska
The survey designer defined this program’s original transects. Over the course of three field seasons (so as to include all panels), actual boat tracks were recorded. These did not exactly coincide with the originals due to presence of physical obstructions as well as slight inaccuracies in the original GIS shoreline features. The KM-A product group was redefined to match these ground-truthed locations and is now expected to be immutable. However, if additional changes in exact transect locations are required in the future, the following tasks should be performed to fully and consistently incorporate them into the program.
