Alcid habitat restoration and Xantu's Murrelet nest monitoring on Santa Barbara Island, California in 2007
Harvey AL and Barnes KW. 2009. Alcid habitat restoration and Xantu's Murrelet nest monitoring on Santa Barbara Island, California in 2007. Ventura, CA
Report on baseline Xantu's Murrelet monitoring in 2007 with comparison to previous nest monitoring data, pilot plant habitat restoration work, and recommendations for future project activities. To help offset population-level impacts on seabird populations resulting from DDT contamination, the Montrose Setlements Restoration Program prioritized habitat restoration work to benefit Xantu's Murrelets and Cassin's Auklets on Santa Barbara Island. Project goals in the first year of the alcid habitat restoration project were: perform baseline monitoring of Xantu's Murrelets; design and construct an on-island plant nursery; and complete a small pilot outplanting to identify plant growth and survivorship.
