Habitat Use by Sea Ducks
in SE Alaska

Research on Sea Ducks
This work uses aerial survey data collected throughout southeast Alaska to analyze distribution and habitat use by wintering sea ducks.   Combining the spatially explicit survey data with habitat attributes in GIS is allowing us to evaluate species-habitat relationships at a broad scale.
