In 2011, KEFJ staff in cooperation with AMNWR and University of Alaska Fairbanks began a three year intensive seabird study to establish monitoring protocols for breeding seabirds in KEFJ and adjacent areas of AMNWR. The goals of this study are to: Document previously undetected seabird colonies by systematically surveying the coastline within KEFJ. Determine the status (occupied or unoccupied) and species composition of all seabird colonies documented in surveys from 1976-2010. Produce GIS maps of the locations of seabird colonies in KEFJ and adjacent AMNWR islands. Develop statistically valid protocols for monitoring long term presence and abundance of colony nesting seabirds within KEFJ and adjacent AMNWR islands. This report presents a summary of data gathered in 2011 with preliminary comparisons to seabird surveys from previous years."
