Abstract: This project will evaluate the current study design and analytical methods for Project /159, with the objective of transition into a long-term monitoring program. Seven previous surveys have monitored population trends for more than 65 bird and 8 marine mammal species in Prince William Sound with the overall objective of monitoring recovery of injured populations. This project will build upon these previous surveys, by use of computer simulations of different sampling strategies using data collected from previous surveys (1989-2000), to determine the optimal study design in regard to number of transects, transect length, habitat type, and stratifications. The transition from monitoring recovery of injured populations in the short-term to a program of long-term ecological monitoring, requires methodologies which ensure precise and reliable population estimates which are capable of detecting population changes and trends. A final report will also be prepared.
