Injured Resources Addressed: Common Murres

Abstract: This project will analyze Barren Islands murre census data collected in FY 99 and prepare a final report comparing FY 99 results with counts made during the 1993-97 Barren Islands murre population monitoring studies (projects 93049, 94039, 96144, 97144), the 1989-92 damage assessment and restoration studies (projects B3, R11), and 1990-92 Exxon-sponsored studies. The final report will contain data on murre productivity at the Barren Islands 1989-99, discuss these data in relation to trends in population size during the same interval of time, and discuss changes in numbers of birds that may have occurred at the nesting colonies because of recent El Nino and La Nina events.
