Habitat modeling for Northern Gannets

Northern Gannets are coastal seabirds that nest on cliffs. By running GIS analysis on steepness (slope greater than or equal to 80%), proximity to coat (within 100 meters of the coast), distance from roads (300m from roads) and size (at least 1 hectare), I could isolate and visualize potential habitats preferred by the bird in an area of Maine.
