	Bay Journal: Scientists diving into secrets of elusive seaducks - January/February 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Although seaducks spend their winters anywhere along a 2,000-mile range from Labrador to Florida, itâs estimated that between a quarter and a third of the entire Atlantic Flyway population is concentrated in the Bay.
		The Chesapeake has eight seaduck species, but researchers are focusing on the four which are least studied: the fl scoter, surf scoter, white-winged scoter and the long-tailed duck (formerly known as the oldsquaw).
		After examining hundreds of gizzards and gullets from seaducks obtained from hunters in the past few years, Patuxent researchers have already learned that the birds are eating, for the most part, hooked mussels, although they consume large numbers of dwarf clams, gem clams, and a variety of other bottom dwellers.

		The seaducks, Merginae, form a sub-family of the duck, goose and swan family of birds, Anatidae.
		The fish-eating members of this group, such as the mergansers and Smew, have serrated edges to their bills to help them grip their prey.
		These are large marine ducks The drakes have body plumage showing varying amounts of fl and white, and distinctive head patterns.Females are brown.

	Seabirds and Seaduck
		Seabirds and seaduck comprise those species of bird that depend wholly or mainly on the marine environment for their survival.
		Seaduck include those species of duck (the family Anatidae) that largely feed in and breed adjacent to the sea, especially in the non-breeding seasons.
		For example, direct competition for prey might occur between seabirds and seaduck and the fishing and shellfish industries, seaduck habitat might be rendered unavailable to birds by windfarm developments, and oil pollution incidents have been known to kill many thousands of seabirds and seaduck.

	Seaduck Food Availability
		Additionally, telemetry data indicates that as winter progresses, seaducks are forced to move into deeper water in search of preferred food items (Figure 1.).
		The species, number, and position of all seaducks observed are recorded by a pair of primary observers positioned at the bow of the boat.
		Preliminary results have shown that concentrations of seaducks are associated with areas with hard substrate, with hooked mussel (Ischadium recurvum) as the dominant benthic species.

		It was felt that the population decline issue is complex and probably the result of a wide range of environmental factors that may differ in their importance from one region to another.
		Using a weight-of-evidence approach, it is apparent that populations of seaducks have declined in the past 30 to 40 years.
		Seaducks, in general, are exposed to relatively high concentrations of certain contaminants, including cadmium, butyltins and PAHs.

	Surf Scoters
		Nearly all North American seaduck species are exhibiting continental population declines and there is a fear that this trend could be indicative of widespread environmental degradation (Goudie et al.
		The ecological causes for declining seaduck population trends is poorly understood; though habitat destruction, pollution, excessive hunting, and climate change may all play important roles.
		Members of the seaduck clade share several life-history and ecological characters, including diving habit and primary reliance on animal prey, moderately heavy wing-loading and rapid flight, age of sexual maturity of two or more years, and predominately diurnal activity patterns (Livezey 1995).

	Atlantic Seaduck Study (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Although data will be collected on all species of seaducks, major emphasis will be on the fl scoter, which is the sea duck that has been studied the least.
		In late February, researchers plan to instrument 15 male fl scoters with internal transmitters to learn more about their movements from the Bay to their breeding areas and eventually to their molting areas.
		Another aspect of the study will deal with the food habits of seaducks and the habitat being used by wintering ducks in Chesapeake Bay.

		Stefan took over as Seaduck Database Co-ordinator in 1993, but had been organising the meeting of the Nordic/Baltic Duck Survey Group since1989 and was thus in close contact with the seaduck researchers in the region.
		During winter 1993, a major survey of all the Baltic marine areas was carried out in co-operation between the national co-ordinators of the countries.
		In 1995, he was formally appointed co-ordinator of the Seaduck SG and during the next WI Board of Members meeting, the SG co-ordinators elected him as their representative in the WI Board of Directors, a position that he holds to the present day.

		Baloo pulls it down and sadly for the SeaDuck; the plane is about to get crushed as Baloo attempts to dodge everything; but the SeaDuck keeps hitting the sides of the ridge.
		The SeaDuck takes a few weak bumps (Wang Films is animating here and they have a slightly better record than Sun Woo) and the SeaDuck goes into a tailspin.
		Baloo has no idea what happens next as the SeaDuck hits the water so violently that the flight data recorder (I think that's what it was since it was beside Baloo) snaps and nails Baloo squarely in the head knocking him completely out with a huge bruise.

		Changes in the location of seaduck populations have also been observed and have given managers new concerns.

		Apparently; someone is in trouble as the SeaDuck flies down and we see a furry in a leather jacket floating on top of the brutal seas.
		Baloo then starts flying the SeaDuck away from the ocean as he asks the pilot for a reason why he was swimming in the ocean.
		A huge chunk of ice (containing the planes of the S7) comes down on Poppa Bear's SeaDuck and WD-France screws up because it appeared that the SeaDuck was flying in reverse; but they have Baloo flying up into the air in a spiral motion and thus create the illusion that the S7's crushes the SeaDuck.

	Sharp decline in seabird population
		Overall, the total number of marine birds in the region has dropped by 47 percent since the 1970s and 30 percent of our regional seabird and seaduck species are listed as threatened or endangered, or are candidates for listing.
		The reasons for declines in so many seabird and seaduck species were discussed at this one day meeting and included the availability of prey resources like forage fish, the disturbance of birds by boats, the impact of toxins, and the degradation of important breeding and over-wintering habitat.
		The SeaDoc Society is making seabird and seaduck health one focus of the program's research and education work.

	EUROPA - Environment - Action plan Polysticta stelleri (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Ornis Committee, BirdLife International, RSPB and Wetlands International Seaduck Specialist Group are responsible for initiating an emergency review if sudden major environmental changes occur within the species range, liable to affect the population or incidents which have an impact on a large proportion of the numbers at the known major wintering areas.
		Northerly wintering seaducks like Steller’s Eider are dependant on open water for feeding, hence their distribution in late autumn and winter is influenced by the extent of the sea ice in staging and winter areas.
		However, the risk that Steller’s Eider become extinct within the five year scope of the present action plan is very small, but in the longer term the extinction risk is real unless actions are taken to reverse the negative trend in numbers.
