Title: Seabird Broad-Scale Distribution 2008 (B64)

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: digital

Description:

Abstract:

This project will examine seabird (and marine mammal) distribution relative to oceanographic and biological features of the Bering Sea. Our goal is to examine the current influence of oceanographic and prey dynamics on the distribution and abundance of seabirds as top predators. By using multiple years of data to examine seabird response to these variables, we aim to predict how changes in the Bering Sea ecosystem will alter the distribution of apex predators.
