- Data Quality
- This legacy dataset is no longer being maintained and must be used with caution. It was originally fitted to the best shoreline data available at the time (1999), i.e. ESRI's " Digital Chart of the World" and “MundoCart digital database” (both derived from Operational Navigation Charts). The dataset is known to show placement errors when mapped onto recent shoreline datasets (e.g. GSHHD, Open Street Map). The global IUCN Red List threat status may differ at the regional-level.
- Supplemental Information
This dataset is the only 'line' dataset of observed nesting occurrence. The 'State of the World’s Sea Turtles’ (SWOT) database (http://seamap.env.duke.edu/data…
