Population Levels and Reproductive Performance of Murres Based on Observations at Breeding Colonies, 1992
An assessment of damage to murre populations and reproductive performance due to the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill was conducted from 1989 to 1991. In 1992, we continued monitoring these parameters at three murre nesting colonies located in the path of the oil in an effort to begin measuring recovery....
