Northwest Forest Plan : the first 10 years (1994-2003) : status and trends of populations and nesting habitat for the marbled murrelet

Summary: The Northwest Forest Plan is a large-scale ecosystem management plan for federal land in the Pacific Northwest. Marbled murrelet populations and habitat were monitored to evaluate effectiveness of the Plan. The chapters in this volume summarize information on marbled murrelet ecology and present the monitoring results for marbled murrelets over the first 10 years of the Plan. Effectiveness monitoring for the marbled murrelet has two facets: assess population trends at sea by using a unified sampling design and standardized survey methods, and establish a credible estimate of baseline nesting-habitat data by modeling habitat relations, and use the baseline to track habitat changes over time.
