Abstract: In FY 97, this project will fund report and publication writing. Data collected during March 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994, and 1996 and July 1989, 1990, 1991, 1993, and 1996 will be used to examine trends by determining whether populations in the oiled zone changed at the same rate as those in the unoiled zone. Overall population trends for Prince William Sound from 1989-96 will also be examined. In addition, marine bird damage assessment information will be prepared for publication.
