Abstract: Small boat surveys to monitor abundance of marine birds in Prince William Sound were conducted during March 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994, 1996, and 1998 and July 1989, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1996, and 1998. This project will use the data to examine trends by determining whether populations in the oiled zone changed at the same rate as those in the unoiled zone. It will also examine overall population trends for Prince William Sound from 1989-98, and prepare an annual report and a paper for publication.
