This point shapefile is a California state-wide collection of seabird colony data compiled through the planning efforts of the MLPA Initiative. Original data provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration biogeographic regional assessment of the National Marine Sanctuaries. Additional data provided and modifications made by each regional SAT in respective regions.
