The last year of data collection will be 2002. The basic mapping units are 10x10 km squares as defined by the UTM system. If available, more detailed geographical information is collected in addition, especially for the smaller less mobile species. Preliminary distribution maps for the Norwegian mainland with adjacent waters and Svalbard with adjacent waters are presented on these pages to present the status of the work for potential contributors. Individuals and institutions possessing distributional data on mammals in Norway are urged to contribute to the project.
All records are welcome, including single observations of the more common species.
It is important that all records are followed by coordinates or by detailed descriptions of where the records were made. A list of references to progress reports and other publications from the project can be found here . The final publication from the EMMA-project, as well as other publications where data from the national mapping project have been used, are also listed.
