This report summarizes the second Council-sponsored winter-time survey of marine birds in and around the tanker escort zones of Prince William Sound.
This report is on the first year of a proposed three-year project to document marine species in Prince William Sound during the winter months.
For this report, researchers investigated linkages between riverine and oceanic influences and the nutritional baseline for mudflat food webs in the Copper River Delta and Hartney Bay in Southeastern Prince William Sound, using stable isotopes of naturally occurring carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), which are both essential elements for growth.
