In this paper we present SES Dashboard, a linked data platform developed to manage information ofSouthern Elephant Seals (Mirounga leonina Linnaeus, 1758) from Península Valdés colony (Patagonia,Argentina), collected over more than two decades of research. Southern elephant seals spend most oftheir time foraging at sea, alternating with two short and highly synchronized haul-outs ashore forbreeding and molting. On land, the distribution of the colony extends along ≈350 km, while at seaindividuals travel thousands of kilometers The information recorded is mainly based on georeferenceddata from censuses, bioregisters (trajectories at sea and hydrographic pro¦les), and bibliographybased on the above data.
