註釋The Scott Islands house the largest concentrations of breeding seabirds in the eastern North Pacific south of Alaska, making them very vulnerable to local marine contamination. Oil from the barge Nestucca, damaged off the Washington coast in late December 1988, spread along the length of the west coast of Vancouver Island in January and February 1989. The condition of the Scott Islands was a major concern, and the islands were monitored for the presence of oil at that time. This report covers population studies conducted on the Scott Islands during the summer of 1989 to assess the impact on local breeding populations. Studies focused on common murres and Cassin's Auklets, but information was gathered on other breeding species. Data from all recent surveys by the Canadian Wildlife Service were included to provide comprehensive coverage for all species. Results were compared with those from studies conducted in previous years.
