| Title: | Digital collection of aerial photographs from the Common Murre Restoration Project, 1996 (NODC Accession 0015544) |
| Abstract: | The Common Murre Restoration Project is a comprehensive seabird restoration effort aimed at enhancing depleted seabird populations in central California, specifically those of the common murre (Uria aalge). The main focus of the project is to reestablish a colony of murres on a small seastack called Devil's Slide Rock, located along the San Mateo coast near Pacifica. This breeding colony held close to 3,000 murres as recently as the early 1980s, but was wiped out as a result of human-caused mortality.
To provide a baseline and to determine the efficacy of the restoration project, photographic slides have been taken during aerial surveys of bird colonies since the mid-1980s and inventoried by the SFBNWR. |
