Download or read book Interpreting the Mortality of Seabirds Following the Nestucca Oil Spill of 1988 89 written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 23 December 1988, the barge Nestucca was damaged off Gray's Harbour, Washington and 875,000 litres of Bunker C oil was spilled. The spill drifted northward, passing through concentrations of seabirds off Washington and Vancouver Island, resulting in a direct mortality of an estimated 56,000 birds. Many more were debilitated and perhaps died from side effects. This report attempts to explain the very high mortality rate of the seabirds, much higher relative to other spills of similar size. It reviews pertinent information on seabird distribution and behaviour and physical and biological oceanography from published and unpublished sources. The review identifies oceanic processes that might affect the distribution and abundance of seabirds in the region and focuses on ocean processes affecting overwintering seabirds, especially the two most affected species, the Common Mure and Cassin's Auklet.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 23 December 1988, the oil barge Nestucca was damaged off Gray's Harbour, Washington and began leaking, spilling about 875,000 litres of Bunker C oil that drifted northwards, leading to widespread oiling of beaches along the coasts of Washington and Vancouver Island and the heavy mortality of seabirds. This report documents the impact of the Nestucca spill on seabirds based on the data collected from British Columbia. The report documented the numbers, types, degree of oiling, and state of decomposition of the birds recovered on Vancouver Island; compared the species composition of the oiled birds with that of offshore and inshore populations wintering off southwest Vancouver Island; estimated the total number of oiled birds to land on Vancouver Island, taking into account the large numbers of carcasses not tallied; estimated the total at-sea mortality represented by the birds recovered on Vancouver Island, taking into account the losses of carcasses at sea; compared the Nestucca victims with normal seabird mortality off Vancouver Island; and assessed the impact of the spill on predatory and scavenging birds on Vancouver Island.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Immigrant Gone to Heaven is a remarkable book. It grips the reader from the moment the author joins an Emigration Training Centre in the Biesbosch region of the Netherlands with the goal of moving to Canada. We follow his experiences as he lands in Canada and works his way up from farm-hand to obtaining a doctorate in Zoology. The section of the book detailing his explorations in ornithology are as fascinating as the stories of immigration and the memories of World War II. The book takes the reader on a riveting journey of exploration in many facets of social history and science as viewed through the lens of an inquisitive and always optimistic upbeat man. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about World War II, immigration, bird behavior or even just in how a life’s journey can unfold with all its unexpected twists and turns." —Tom Bijvoet Publisher, DUTCH the Magazine – Maandblad de krant "Brimming with charming personal anecdotes and fascinating ornithological research in equal measure, Kees Vermeer's Immigrant Gone to Heaven paints a vivid picture of an adventurous and fearless life. Vermeer’s curiosity and insight into the natural world are evident from his descriptions of childhood nest-hunting in the Dutch polder, to his pioneering work with seabirds on British Columbia’s windswept Triangle Island. His stories of everyday life under Nazi occupation are enthralling in their own right. Naturalists, scientists and history buffs alike will enjoy this book." —Annie McLeod, Editor of Nature Saskatchewan's Blue Jay.

Book excerpt: "On 23 December 1988, the oil barge Nestucca was damaged off Gray's Harbor, Washington and began leaking oil. The barge was towed 45 km offshore, near to the edge of the continental shelf. About 875,000 litres of Bunker Coil were spilled, leading to widespread oiling of beaches along the coasts of Washington and Vancouver Island, with heavy mortality of seabirds. A total of 10,336 oiled birds were collected on beaches in Washington: 7244 were found dead, 2065 died or were euthanized at treatment centres, and 1027 were cleaned and released (Ford et al.1991)"--Introduction.
