Scott Islands Marine Wildlife Area Study Area : an ecosystems overview report / Kevin Fort, Krista Amey, Michael Dunn. : CW69-5/427E-PDF

"The 2 581 000 ha study area encompasses a productive and diverse marine environment surrounding the Scott Islands archipelago. More than 2 million seabirds breed on the Scott Islands and they, along with large seasonal populations of many other pelagic birds, rely on the surrounding marine waters for critical foraging habitat. Due in part to rich planktonic communities, the study area also represents important breeding and foraging habitat for many species of marine mammals and fishes, and contains a globally unique hexactinellid sponge reef. This Ecosystem Overview Technical Report provides a synthesis of the physical and biological attributes of this marine region, as gleaned from a diverse array of research programs"--Abstract.
