TL;DR: The history, current schemes, methods and possible (future) use of beached bird surveys are described and discussed, because the value of beaching bird surveys has been hotly disputed.

Seabirds as indicators of marine ecosystems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed combining several data sets to overcome this limitation: if a given temporal pattern occurs for several parameters measured at one site, or for the same parameter measured at several sites, it is likely to reflect important spatiotemporal environmental variation, probably linked to food supply.

TL;DR: Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review as discussed by the authors has been a popular reference text for researchers and students in all fields of marine science and related subjects, and it finds a place in libraries of not only marine stations and institutes, but also universities.

The extent of chronic marine oil pollution in southeastern Newfoundland waters assessed through beached bird surveys 1984-1999.
Francis K. Wiese,Pierre C. Ryan +1 more
TL;DR: Oiling rates correlated with weather patterns and degree of the regional murre hunt, indicate that illegal dumping of oil may occur year round, and point out that it is critical to assess all possible environmental and anthropogenic factors influencing the number of clean and oiled dead birds found on beaches before inferring trends in oiling rates over time.

Assessing seabird mortality from chronic oil discharges at sea
TL;DR: In this paper, a general mathematical Oiled Seabird Mortality Model (OSMM) was proposed to assess seabird mortality due to chronic oil pollution along a given coastline, using birds counted during systematic beached-bird surveys.

Seabirds as monitors of the marine environment
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used stable isotopes of N and C from the same feathers used for mercury measurement, a technique that also permits the monitoring of trophic status over time or between regions.

Immediate Impact of the 'Exxon Valdez' Oil Spill on Marine Birds
TL;DR: In 1989, the oil tanker "Exxon Valdez" spilled 260,000 barrels of crude oil in Prince William Sound, Alaska as mentioned in this paper, killing more than one million marine birds.

TL;DR: Post-spill research is reviewed and set in its legal context and it is recommended that future studies address spatial patterns in the intertidal, and focus on the abundances of long-lived species and on organisms that preserve a chronological record of growth.
