Abstract: This project provides data that will allow for comparisons between surface-feeding kittiwakes and diving puffins, and between offshore feeding puffins and near shore feeding guillemots, through measurements of the diets and breeding success in Prince William Sound. This project was discontinued in FY96 as recommended by peer reviewers and the Chief Scientist. An interim budget of $12.0K was to allow data analysis and presentation of results at APEX review meeting 11/30/95.
