Географический охват
The sea transects were carried out within a nine nautical mile radius starting from the border of the Nature Park Lastovo Islands. This border is identical with the one of the Natura 2000 site 'SPA Lastovsko otočje'.

Данные проекта
The main objectives of the LIFE Artina project were: 1) Identify marine SPAs at sea in southern Croatia for the Audouin's Gull (Larus audouinii), the Scopoli's Shearwater (Calonectris diomedea) and Yelkouan Shearwater (Puffinus yelkouan). 2) Understand and assess the main threats affecting seabirds populations on land and at sea in the project area and define actions to mitigate them. 3) Eradicate terrestrial invasive species (ship rats - Rattus rattus) on shearwater breeding colonies and control of Yellow-legged Gulls (Larus michahellis) at breeding colonies of Audouin's Gulls.

| Описание района исследования | The Lastovo archipelago consists of 46 islands and islets which are part of the south Dalmatian islands in the Dubrovnik-Neretva county in southern Croatia. The entire archipelago stretches from the island of Sušac in the west (42°45'30.5"N 16°52'18.6"E) to Glavat in the east (42°45'57.0"N 17°08'49.1"E), and has been protected as Nature Park Lastovo Islands (IUCN category V) since 2006, covering an area of 195 km2, of which 52 km2 consists of terrestrial habitats. It is also a Natura 2000 site (SPA Lastovsko otočje) and the archipelago holds over 50% of the Croatian national breeding populations of Yelkouan Shearwater, Scopoli's Shearwater and Audouin's Gull. |
| Описание плана выполнения исследований | The sea transects were carried out as part of a larger study to determine the importance of the sea surrounding the Lastovo Archipelago for the three project species as well as other (sea)birds (e.g, for their foraging or resting). |
Методы сбора
A total of 12 transects, varying in length from 35 to 50 km, were surveyed by two observers on a semi-inflatable boat with a skipper, going at a speed of 15 km/h. According to the ESAS methodology, the continuous sampling along each sea transect was divided into poskeys (= periods of 5 minutes during which observations are clustered), which should follow a consecutive and uninterrupted order (poskey 1, poskey 2, poskey 3, etc.). A poskey always started at hh:m0 or hh:m5, and the starting point was marked with a GPS. However, deviating from the original ESAS protocol, during our sea transects, poskey periods were interspersed by 5 minutes of observations for which GPS coordinates were not marked. These periods were dubbed 'non-poskeys' and marked in the poskey column (EventID) with 'no', resulting in a sequence of poskey - non-poskey - poskey etc. with poskeys starting every ten minutes, instead of five. The sampling effort was the same for both periods meaning that essentially the same dataset is collected as during the standardized ESAS methodology, with every other 5 minute interval lacking GPS data and bearing a different name than in the original methodology. Only birds flying on the port side of the boat (left side) were counted. Birds were identified to species level where possible, otherwise using larger overarching species groups. For each observation, the number of birds and their age (if possible) was noted, as well as notes on their behaviour (e.g. foraging, feeding, resting, flying by) and their distance to the boat (see code below), as well as direction of flight. Besides birds, sightings of Dolphins and turtles, and some large species of fish were also recorded. To mitigate the possible effects of weather on species identification, sea transects were only conducted 1) either in the early morning or late afternoon (when the sun is less strong), 2) preferably during days with favourable weather forecast (little to no wind, no large waves, no rain or fog), and 3) by choosing the starting point of the transect based on the location of the sun (to avoid being blinded). Changes in sea state (see code below), visibility and cloud cover were also recorded during the transects. Codes used for distance from boat: A = swims, 0 - 50m B = swims, 50 - 100m C = swims, 100 - 200m D = swims, 200 - 300m E = swims, ≥ 300m F = flying inside transect F+ = flying outside transect Sea state codes: Sea like a mirror -> no wave; wind less than 1kt Small ripples -> wave 0,1m; wind 1 - 3kt Small wavelets -> wave 0,2 - 0,3m; wind 4 - 6kt Crests break -> wave 0,6 - 1,0m; wind 7 - 10kt Numerous white caps -> wave 1,0 - 1,5m; wind 11 - 16kt
| Охват исследования | A series of systematic at-sea surveys was conducted, following the standardized protocol of the ‘European Seabirds at Sea’ (ESAS) database (Tasker et al. 1984; Camphuysen et al. 2004). These transects were carried out monthly between March and October during a two year timespan (May 2019 – May 2021), following a petal shape within a nine nautical mile radius around the SPA Lastovsko otočje. |

Описание этапа методики:
- The field data, initially digitized in Excel, was subsequently imported into R for further processing. In the original dataset, some species were identified more broadly, such as "Larus/Ichthyaetus spec." or "Apus spec." In these instances, the original values were retained in the "verbatimIdentification" column. To provide further taxonomic context, the first general taxonomic rank for each case was identified and included in the database, and all absence records are recorded as class Aves. Additionally, supplementary details—such as distance from the ship, flight direction, cloud cover, sea state, and visibility—were added as measurementOrFact entries. Due to the deviation from the ESAS protocol and in order to keep the "true" sequence of records being taken (otherwise the NO poskeys are thrown at the end) the occurrenceID column was constructed as "record_sequence-year-transect-poskey".
