Abstract: The project would investigate whether low reproductive success is limiting the recovery of marbled murrelets in PWS and, if so, whether food limitation or predation are responsible. The study would examine annual differences in murrelet productivity parameters relative to prey abundance in PWS focusing on chick provisioning rates and reproductive success.
