Summary

Abstract

Birds in this atlas are divided into several species subgroups based on taxonomy, morphology, behavior, and oil spill vulnerability and sensitivity. The species table lists all the birds included on the maps, sorted by subgroup. These species are included either because of their likelihood of direct or indirect impact by an oil spill or similar incident, their general rarity or imperilment, or their special protection status as threatened or endangered. Marine, wetland, and aquatic species; nesting sites and colonies; and protected species are especially emphasized. Seabird concentration areas and nesting colonies in this atlas were based on information provided by USFWS. Concentration areas for wetland and aquatic birds were based mainly on information provided by DRNA waterfowl and wildlife biologists. Locations for Puerto Rican parrots were derived based on information provided by USFS biologists. The DRNA Division de Patrimonio Natural provided information for protected and other species throughout the study area. These sources were augmented by information from the DRNA reports on Critical Wildlife Areas and Critical Coastal Wildlife Areas of Puerto Rico, and other expert and published sources. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.
