Summary

Abstract: The metadata edits are in progress. Please contact the contact person
for detail. Aerial surveys of marine birds have been conducted annually since
1992 by the Puget Sound Ambient Monitoring Program (PSAMP) staff during both a
summer (July) and a winter (December to early February) survey window, sampling
some part of every portion of the marine shoreline of the inner marine waters
of Washington state by two strata: nearshore (< 20 meters in depth) and
offshore (> 20 meters in depth). The datasets are split by season (summer or
winter) and year.

Purpose: The purpose of this program is to monitor population trends of either
summer or winter resident species rather than migrations around Puget Sound.
