Tracking Data for Pacific Walrus (Odobenus rosmarus divergens)
July 8, 2022
This data release includes 2 child items with tracking data for Pacific walrus, a marine mammal that ranges between the Alaska Peninsula, up through the Bering and Chukchi seas, and over to Russia.
Child Item 1: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Pacific Walrus (Odobenus rosmarus divergens) - Processed Data" -- Quality-controlled data collected from Argos satellite transmitters.
Child Item 2: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Pacific Walrus (Odobenus rosmarus divergens) - Raw Data" -- All raw data collected from Argos satellite transmitters, provided for completeness of the archive. The quality-controlled, "Argos Processed Data" (Child Item 1) are better suited for most analytical purposes.

Regional walrus abundance estimate in the United States Chukchi Sea in autumn
Human activities (e.g., shipping, tourism, oil, gas development) have increased in the Chukchi Sea because of declining sea ice. The declining sea ice itself and these activities may affect Pacific walrus (Odobenus rosmarus divergens) abundance; however, previous walrus abundance estimates have been notably imprecise. When sea ice is absent from the eastern Chukchi Sea, walruses in waters of the U
