Some of the most commonly seen birds in Prince William Sound, Alaska.
Model analyses suggested that actual seabird mortality could have been in the hundreds of thousands, prompting concerns about severe and persistent impacts on populations of several species, especially murres.
Black Oystercatchers are among the avian species in Prince William Sound (PWS) at greatest risk of injury from residues of the Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS) through ingestion of contaminated prey.
Field surveys conducted in July and August of 1991 on 32 of 36 murre colonies in the northern Gulf of Alaska to assess colony attendance
The Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989 caused substantial seabird mortality. By 1 August, more than 30,000 seabird carcasses (74% murres) were recovered, and it was initially estimated that between 100,000 and 300,000 seabirds were killed.
The potential long-term toxilogical effects of exposures to oils in birds and mammals
This study investigated the effects of the Exxon Valdez oil spill on the use of oil-affected habitats by birds during 1989-1991.
