Description:This report on marine birds, a diverse group that includes seabirds, waterfowl, wading birds, and shorebirds, is part of a series of Natural Resource Response Guides that are intended to provide a brief, but comprehensive, summary of information that can be applied in the event of an oil spill. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is authorized to manage or protect marine birds during oil and hazardous materials spills under the Endangered Species Act and the National Contingency Plan. In order to carry out these responsibilities, the NOAA Scientific Support Coordinator (SSC) and other NOAA representatives must have access to detailed and accurate biological information, such as this report, on which to base management decisions.
