Pacific Walrus Coastal Haulout Images from Remote Camera Stations

This data package contains 362 digital photos of a walrus haulout location at Cape Greig, on the Alaska Peninsula summer 2023 (2023-05-09 23:01:08 UTC through 2023-11-16 21:01:14 UTC). Photos were taken up to three times daily from a remotely operated camera located on a bluff above the haulout. The camera station was installed in the early spring 2023, prior to arrival of walruses at the site. Images are transferred via satellite link.
