SHEAR - The impact of the physical environment on the foraging energetics of shearwaters and the consequences for breeding success project dataset
The impact of the physical environment on the foraging energetics of shearwaters and the consequences for breeding success (SHEAR) project from 2022 to 2025 to study manx shearwater (Puffinus puffinus) breeding on two colonies (Bardsey Island and the Calf of Man) within the Irish Sea, to understand the impacts of future climate change. The data collected includes manx shearwater tracking data to study foraging movements. TechnoSmart AxyTrek tags were used to record location (latitude/longitude), tri-axial acceleration, and pressure, which has been converted to depth (in metres). Data were generated by converting files downloaded from the loggers using the tag manufacturer's software. Prey field data were also collectedusing an echosounder. The data collected from this project were funded by the NERC Discovery Science grant NE/W001217/1, awarded to principal investigator Dr Line Cordes at Bangor University.

- Explanation
-
BODC protocols are based on the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) model enabling BODC to iterate towards compliance with the on-going evolution and development of community requirements including FAIR (Findable,Accessible,Interoperable,Reusable), TRUST (Transparency, Responsibility, User community, Sustainability, Technology) and CARE (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics). Data managers quality assure submissions and assemble the metadata necessary for curation. Submissions (as received) are placed in a long-term accession and stored in triplicate across multiple sites. Appropriate data are transferred into a standard internal format with source variable names mapped to controlled vocabularies, documentation assembled, and metadata loaded into BODC databases. Access to these data is through direct request, the BODC website and through partner repositories such as SeaDataNet. Access control is attained by assigning a data policy to each set of data and this policy is used to administer access when data are requested. Discovery metadata is aligned with EU INSPIRE (through MEDIN) and SeaDataNet community standards. Data are converted to open community formats including Ocean Data View ASCII and SeaDataNet NetCDF, with data described using terms from the NERC vocabulary server. BODC submission agreements are documented on the BODC website and customer service is assured with a dedicated requests team that serve data following local regulations including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018 and Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004.

- Statement
-
This dataset contains foraging movements for two manx shearwater colonies (Bardsey Island and the Calf of Man) within the Irish Sea. TechnoSmart AxyTrek tags were used to track individuals by recording location (latitude/longitude), tri-axial acceleration, and pressure, which has been converted to depth (in metres). Data were generated by converting files downloaded from the loggers using the tag manufacturer's software. Prey field data were also collected, using an echosounder. The data were collected during the SHEAR project (the impact of the physical environment on the foraging energetics of shearwaters and the consequences for breeding success), running from March 2022 to March 2025. The outputs were generated from scientists at Bangor University School of Ocean Sciences and Heriot-Watt University School of Life Sciences (SLS) under the NERC Discovery Science grant NE/W001217/1. The data files are archived at CEDA in the format provided by the originators and no QC was done by BODC.Instrument(s) used to collect data: accelerometers; Fish-finder echosounders; satellite positioning systems.
