Waterbird Census in Portugal

This dataset is the output of a national waterbird monitoring programme coordinated by ICNF that collects information on the number and distribution of waterbirds at wetland sites in Portugal and is part of the International Waterbird Census project (African-Eurasian Waterbird Census – Europe). The dataset consists of annual waterbird counts, undertaken from 2000 to 2013, of species regularly encountered at wetlands and observed in all types of natural and man-made wetlands in mainland Portugal. In this dataset there is a record of 84 waterbird species, 20 families and 11 orders (Accipitriformes, Anseriformes, Charadriiformes, Ciconiiformes, Gaviiformes, Gruiformes, Pelecaniformes, Phoenicopteriformes, Podicipediformes, Strigiformes, Suliformes).

Abstract
This dataset is the output of a national waterbird monitoring programme coordinated by ICNF that collects information on the number and distribution of waterbirds at wetland sites in Portugal and is part of the International Waterbird Census project (African-Eurasian Waterbird Census – Europe).
Funding
This work was co-fund by ICNF, I.P. and the European Union, through the Environment Operational Programme (application 1.1/00021– Documentos Estruturantes da Conservação da Natureza e da Biodiversidade). The preparation of this resource for publication through GBIF was supported by Project PORBIOTA—Portuguese E-Infrastructure for Information and Research on Biodiversity (POCI-01-0145-FEDER-022127), under the Operational Thematic Program for Competitiveness and Internationalization (POCI), under the PORTUGAL 2020 Partnership Agreement, through the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER) and FCT.

Method Step

Description
Preparation of the dataset for GBIF publication used as source the geographic layer in shape file format. The spatial layer and centroids were converted to geographic coordinates using WGS84 and WKT was determined for the polygons. The file was exported to a csv file and attributes reinterpreted to matching DwC standard terms.

Sampling

Study Extent

The geographic area considered Portugal Mainland. The species included are waterbirds observed in wetland sites (Accipitriformes, Anseriformes, Charadriiformes, Ciconiiformes, Gaviiformes, Gruiformes, Pelecaniformes, Phoenicopteriformes, Podicipediformes, Strigiformes, Suliformes).

Sampling Description
Waterbird annual counts in natural and man-made wetlands in mainland Portugal.
