- Abstract
- This study surveyed 1434 km of at-sea transects, spread over three years and four seasons. These records considerably expand the available time-series from three to four decades, updates the previous information that is over a decade old, and fills important geographic and seasonal gaps for seabirds, especially in winter and in the western part of Lower Cook Inlet. The intensive survey of Kachemak Bay expanded population trend data for marine birds, which now spans 2005-2007, 2011, and 2016.
