Biderman JD, Drury WH. 1978. Ecological studies in the northern Bering Sea: studies of seabirds in the Bering Strait. US Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management. 88 p. Obligation No.: RU-447. URL: https://espis.boem.gov/Final%20Reports/442.pdf
In the 1970s, the Bering Strait became a major avenue of transportation of heavy equipment to the western Arctic as the oil fields of northwestern Canada and the North Slope of Alaska are developed. Furthermore, because ice conditions periodically prevent the passage of ships past Point Barrow, staging areas for ships waiting to move northward were needed in places such as the roadsteads at Nome and Port Clarence. This OSCEAP study based around Little Diomede Island was developed to 1) learn what species of seabirds occur, where and in what numbers in the Bering Strait Region; 2) locate the feeding areas, breeding areas, gathering areas and other areas of great importance; 3) learn by trophic and other ecological studies what factors are important for reproductive success and what factors cause stress ; 4) identify those human activities directly and indirectly associated with mineral development which may diminish the seabird populations of the area; 5) prepare recommendations for stipulations for the guidance of industrial activities in order to prevent or mitigate damage.
