![]() | BeachCOMBERS: Taking the Pulse of the Sanctuary This video describes a beach survey program called Coastal Ocean Mammal and Bird Education and Research Surveys (Beach COMBERS) using trained volunteers to survey beached marine birds and mammals monthly at selected sections of beaches in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. The program is a collaborative project between Moss Landing Marine Laboratories and the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary along with other state and research institutions including California Department of Fish and Game, Marine Wildlife Veterinary Care and Research Center, and the University of California Davis. The project uses deposition of beach cast carcasses as an index of the health of the Sanctuary. This program has been greatly successful providing data for a number of scientific papers contributing to the conservation of sanctuary resources, identifying and quantifying oiled wildlife, and a great many more accomplishments. |
