Top Predator Hotspot Persistence
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/245.B92-001

Summary
This dataset contains surveys of foraging patterns of marine predators. The
predators studied were black-legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla), thick-billed
murre (Uria lomvia), the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae), and the fin
whale (Balaenoptera physalus). Surveys were taken once a year in 2004 and from
2006-2010 and compared the foraging patterns of these predators to pollock and
euphausiid concentrations.
