Pacific walrus foraging and haulout behavior 2008 (B67)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/245.B67-003

Summary
Pacific walrus (n = 10) were instrumented with satellite-linked data logging
behavior monitors to collect foraging, haulout and movement data in the Saint
Lawrence Island polynia. Towards this end, the United States Geological Survey
(USGS) developed custom satellite-linked data loggers capable of (1)
characterizing hourly walrus foraging and haulout status and (2) tracking
movements for 6 to 8 weeks. To locate walrus herds suitably situated for
instrumentation, the USGS walrus team placed observers on reconnaissance
flights. The USGS team instrumented 10 (4 females, 5 males and 1 unknown sex)
walruses within the polynia.
