The red-throated loon as an indicator of environmental quality in the Beaufort Sea region : final report on predevelopment phase / by D. Lynne Dickson.: CW66-684/1991E-PDF
"The objective of this project is to monitor the effect of future offshore oil and gas development on the birds that use the coastal areas of the Beaufort Sea. A preliminary investigation in 1984 indicated that the Red-throated Loon would be a suitable indicator species for monitoring due to its vulnerability, to the proposed development, its abundance in the Beaufort Sea region and the conspicuous nature of its nests and chicks. The parameters chosen to be monitored each year were the abundance of Red-throated Loon pairs, their breeding effort and breeding success. This is a report on the five-year predevelopment phase of the study. These data will provide a benchmark for monitoring once full scale development has occurred"--Executive summary, page i.
