Migratory Connectivity in the Ocean ( Mi C O)

Advancements in animal tracking technology are enabling far greater data collection on migration patterns than ever before. However, efforts to synthesize and provide access to information on migratory connectivity for management and policy have lagged behind. MiCO is an open-access system with t...

short_description	An objective of the Migratory Connectivity in the Ocean (MiCO) initiative is to synthesize data on marine migratory species area use to support worldwide conservation efforts. These general areas of use are further partitioned into MiCO nodes which are aggregated areas of non-migratory behavior (e.g., wintering, breeding, foraging), and MiCO corridors which are aggregated areas used by migrating individuals. Nodes and corridors are generated using animal tracking data via well-accepted kernel density estimation (KDE) methods using R statistical software (R Core Team 2018).
