Laney White, Emma Kelsey, Gavin Haight, and Josh Adams (USGS Western Ecological Research Center; USGS WERC), with observer support from Alex Rinkert (California State Parks), continued long-term (1999–present) at-sea Marbled Murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus) surveys in Conservation Zone 6 in central California to estimate murrelet abundance reproductive output in 2024. This long-term monitoring project was previously funded by the Luckenbach Oil Spill Trustee Council and will be funded through 2028 by California State Parks. The annual report is available upon request and the data will be published every five years:
