Abstract: The project is designed to determine whether common murre populations at a series of index colonies within the area affected by the oil spill are recovering. This objective would be accomplished by counting murres at all five locations to document the presence or absence of post-spill population trends. Each location would be surveyed every 3 years, but the field work is proposed so that a portion of it would be accomplished annually (i.e. colonies in the western portion of the spill zone would be surveyed in FY 96, central colonies would be counted in FY 97, and the eastern-most colonies would be visited in FY 98).
