Abstract: This project would involve follow-up surveys on Simeonof and Chernabura Islands to assess the effectiveness of a predator removal project funded by the Trustee Council in FY 94 (Project 94041). Populations of black oystercatchers, guillemots and other seabirds have been depressed due to the presence of introduced foxes. Surveys will be conducted to document increases in black oystercatchers and pigeon guillemots as a result of the elimination of foxes. This project would also support the report writing and data analysis of FY 94 field work.
