Alaska Maritime Seabird Protocols
The Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge is highly-respected within the seabird monitoring community and has developed a long-term monitoring program to track seabird demography and life-history. Critical to success of this program is the standardization of methods used to collect these data. The document library below contains the detailed protocols for measuring various parameters of seabird life history.
Please first look at the introduction to find the document with the information you are searching for and then download the appropriate PDF for that protocol. Each protocol describes a standardized approach to data collection, complete with examples, and since no two field locations are the same, site-specific information is included as appendices. We hope that these protocols are widely used and serve as an example for many other sites desiring to collect similar data.
If you use any of these methods, please cite as recommended in the Introduction (0 Intro).
