Using opportunistic data collected primarily from whale watch vessels by Laurie Murison, the occurrence of phalaropes has been monitored (1990-present). In addition seabird counts during commercial whale watch trips (1994-present) have been conducted. This information has been provided to researchers who are unable to collect such opportunistic data.
For example, data have been provided for feeding locations of terns and puffins, migration of black terns from nesting colonies along the Saint John River, New Brunswick, Canada, monitoring phalarope migration and numbers, and migration of land birds over water. The data has also been mapped by Eastern Charlotte Waterways and added to their Marine Resource Mapping for Charlotte County.
