Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Catalog of California Seabird Colonies
This catalog is a summary of the location, size, and species composition of seabird colonies along the California coast. It documents more than 260 nesting areas with a total estimated population of nearly birds. Our study was sponsored by the Bureau of Land Management, Pacific Outer Continental Shelf Office, to fulfill requirements of the Nation al Environmental Policy Act of 1970. The information will help resource planners evaluate possible effects on seabirds of proposed oil and gas leasing. Detailed information on seabird distribution and abundance will be useful to coastal planners, scientists, and amateur bird watchers. For this reason, we have included a section on threats to seabirds and appendices on the archiving of our field data (appendix A) and viewpoints from which several colonies can be observed without causing disturbance (appendix B).
