Monitoring of bird abundance and distribution at McKinley Bay and Hutchison Bay, Northwest Territories, 1981 to 1993 / by Beth J. Cornish, D. Lynne Dickson.: CW69-5/204E-PDF

"McKinley Bay has been identified as a preferred site for a harbour to support oil and gas production in the Beaufort Sea. As the bay is a moulting area for several species of diving duck, this study was initiated to monitor the effect of harbour development on divers and other birds using the bay. Baseline information on the natural annual fluctuations in the number of birds were collected for nine years at McKinley Bay and eight years at nearby Hutchison Bay, the area chosen as the control. This is the final report of the predevelopment phase of the monitoring study. Results of the 1993 surveys and a summary of results of all years of surveys are presented"--Abstract, p. i.
