Item Information

snippet:	In 2005, CWS resumed tracking birds at sea using vessels of opportunity and specially trained observers, and using the distance sampling technique (Buckland et al. 2001) The program, now known as the Eastern Canadian Seabird Monitoring (ECSAS-SOMEC), focuses on the Atlantic coast, the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and the eastern Arctic (Gjerdrum et al. 2012, Fifield et al. 2009). We record birds observed along a line transect by sweeping our eyes along a 90o arc on one side of the vessel and use the instantaneous number method recommended for birds in flight (Tasker et al., 1984).
