Arimitsu, M.L., Schoen, S.K., Piatt, J.F., Marsteller, C.E., 2021. Assessing the status and trends of seabirds and forage fish in lower Cook Inlet, Alaska (ver. 3.0, January 2024): U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P961LWWE
Summary
This data release is composed of seven datasets regarding colonial seabirds and forage fish at two seabird nesting colonies on Gull and Chisik Islands in lower Cook Inlet, Alaska. These data were collected to detect changes in the breeding population of Black-legged Kittiwakes and Common Murres on two nesting colonies in lower Cook Inlet and to compare those counts to baseline counts from 1995-1999. They are part of an ongoing study in lower Cook Inlet, Alaska to assess the recent status of forage fish and seabirds (2000-2020).
