            <gco:CharacterString>This data set includes the locations of all known seabird colonies along the coast of British Columbia, and provides a compilation of the population estimates of seabirds breeding at those colonies since 1980, and historical estimates prior to 1980 for some colonies. It does not include an estimate of the numbers of juvenile birds or non-breeders in the population.

The rationale for developing this inventory was the recognized need for a product that could assist with: coastal zone and conservation area planning; emergency response to environmental emergencies and identifying areas of potential interactions between seabirds and anthropogenic activities. In addition, the data used to develop the document provides a baseline to compare with future seabird population estimates in order to measure the impacts of shifts in composition, abundance and/or distribution of prey, and climatic and oceanographic changes. The database is not a substitute for on-site surveys usually required for environmental assessment.

Here we present data on the breeding colony population estimates of the 17 species of seabirds (including two storm petrels, three cormorants, one gull, and eight alcids) and one shorebird (Black Oystercatcher Haematopus bachmani) that breed on the coast of British Columbia. Over 5.5 million colonial birds are currently estimated to nest at 649 sites (Rodway et al. 2024). Five species (Cassin's Auklets Ptychoramphus aleuticus, Fork-tailed Storm-petrels (Hydrobates fucatus), Rhinoceros Auklets Cerorhinca monocerata, Ancient Murrelets Synthliboramphus antiquus, and Leach's Storm-petrels (Hydrobates leucorhous), comprise the vast majority of that population, although Black Oystercatchers (Haematopus bachmani), Pigeon Guillemots (Cepphus columba), and Glaucous-winged Gulls (Larus glaucescens), nest at the most sites. Marbled Murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus), which nest on the mossy limbs of mature and old-growth trees within the coastal forests, are not included in this database, due to their dispersed nesting habit.

The population estimates presented in this database are compiled from the results of several surveys. Many of the seabird breeding colonies in British Columbia have been known for more than 50 years, but because of the remoteness of the sites, visits to them have been rare. The majority of the data are the results of comprehensive inventories of colonial nesting seabirds along the British Columbia coastline conducted between 1974 and 1977 by the British Columbia Provincial Museum (BCPM; now Royal British Columbia Museum ) and between 1980 and 1989 by the Canadian Wildlife Service of Environment and Climate Change Canada (CWS). The goal of the BCPM surveys was to explore the entire BC coast to identify seabird nesting sites. Reliable, quantitative data were gathered on the breeding populations of all surface-nesting seabird species and rough estimates of population sizes were made for burrow-nesting species. The goal of the CWS survey program was to establish baseline estimates of breeding populations of burrow-nesting species in BC using standardized survey techniques to allow future comparisons and monitoring of those populations. During the 1980s, repeat surveys of surface-nesting species were also conducted by CWS in most regions of the BC coast. A few colonies on small remote islands were not visited during those surveys. Therefore, for some colonies the most current population estimates are from the first complete survey of the BC coastline, carried out by the Royal British Columbia Museum in the mid 1970’s.

Since 1989, surveys have been conducted by CWS on some alcid, cormorant and gull colonies along the BC coast, and results have been included in the dataset (data entry ongoing). As well as data from CWS surveys, we have attempted to obtain recent data from all other sources including Parks Canada, Transport Canada, the BC Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development, the City of Vancouver, the Bamfield Marine Station, and the Laskeek Bay Conservation Society. Since 2000, inventories of nesting Black
Oystercatchers have been conducted in some regions of the coast by Parks Canada and partners (Gulf Islands National Park Reserve, Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, and Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve) and results have been included in the dataset (data entry ongoing). A long time series of nesting Black Oystercatcher data collected by Laskeek Bay Conservation Society in the Laskeek Bay area of the East Coast of Moresby Island has also been included in this dataset.</gco:CharacterString>

                  <gmd:LocalisedCharacterString xmlns="" locale="#fra">Le présent ensemble de données indique l’emplacement de toutes les colonies d’oiseaux de mer connues le long du littoral de la Colombie-Britannique. Il offre également une compilation des estimations des populations reproductrices d’oiseaux de mer dans ces colonies depuis 1980, ainsi que des estimations historiques pour certaines colonies avant 1980. Il n’inclut cependant pas d’estimations du nombre d’oiseaux juvéniles ou non reproducteurs dans les populations.

La raison justifiant l’élaboration de cet inventaire est le besoin reconnu d’un produit qui pourrait faciliter la réalisation des activités suivantes : la planification des zones côtières et des aires de conservation; les interventions en cas d’urgence environnementale et la détermination des zones d’interactions potentielles entre les oiseaux de mer et les activités humaines. De plus, les données ayant servi à l’élaboration du document pourront servir de valeurs de référence pour établir une comparaison avec les estimations futures des populations d’oiseaux de mer, de manière à mesurer les incidences des changements dans la composition, l’abondance et/ou la répartition des proies, ainsi que les effets des changements climatiques et océanographiques. La base de données ne peut se substituer aux relevés effectués sur place et habituellement requis pour les évaluations environnementales.

Dans ce document, nous présentons des données sur les populations des colonies d’oiseaux reproducteurs de 17 espèces d’oiseaux de mer (y compris deux espèces d’océanites, trois espèces de cormorans, une espèce de goéland, une espèce de tridactyle, huit espèces de la famille des alcidés) et une espèce d’oiseau de rivage (Huîtrier de Bachman [Haematopus bachmani]) qui nichent sur la côte de la Colombie-Britannique. Selon les estimations actuelles, plus de 5,6 millions d’oiseaux coloniaux nichent à 649 sites (Rodway et al. 2024). Cinq espèces (Starique de Cassin [Ptychoramphus aleuticus], Océanite à queue fourchue [Hydrobates pelagicus], Macareux rhinocéros [Cerorhinca monocerata], Guillemot à cou blanc [Synthliboramphus antiquus], et Océanite cul blanc [Hydrobates leucorhous]) constituent la vaste majorité de ces populations, bien que le Huîtrier de Bachman (Haematopus bachmani), le Guillemot colombin (Cepphus columba), et le Goéland à ailes grises (Larus glaucescens) nichent aussi à la majorité de ces sites. Le Guillemot marbré (Brachyramphus marmoratus), qui niche sur les branches moussues d’arbres matures et anciens dans les forêts côtières, n’est pas inclus dans cette base de données en raison de son habitude de nidification dispersée.

Les estimations de population présentées dans la base de données sont le fruit de la compilation des résultats de nombreux relevés. La présence de nombreuses colonies de nidification d’oiseaux de mer en Colombie-Britannique a été établie il y a plus de 50 ans mais en raison de l’éloignement des sites, ces colonies ont rarement été visitées. La majorité des données sont issues d’inventaires exhaustifs des oiseaux de mer coloniaux qui nichent le long du littoral de la Colombie-Britannique, réalisés entre 1974 et 1977 par le British Columbia Provincial Museum (BCPM; aujourd’hui le Royal British Columbia Museum) et entre 1980 et 1989 par le Service canadien de la faune (SCF) d’Environnement et Changement climatique Canada. L’objectif des relevés du BCPM était d’explorer toute la côte de la Colombie-Britannique afin d’y repérer les sites de nidification des oiseaux de mer. Des données quantitatives fiables ont été recueillies sur les populations reproductrices de toutes les espèces d’oiseaux de mer nichant à la surface du sol, et des estimations approximatives de la taille des populations ont été réalisées pour les espèces nichant dans un terrier. L’objectif du programme de relevés du SCF était d’établir des estimations de base des populations reproductrices d’espèces nichant dans un terrier en Colombie-Britannique en utilisant des techniques d’étude normalisées afin de permettre des comparaisons et le suivi de ces populations à l’avenir. Au cours des années 1980, des relevés répétés ciblant les espèces nichant à la surface du sol ont également été menés par le SCF dans la plupart des régions de la côte de la Colombie-Britannique. Quelques colonies situées sur de petites îles éloignées n’ont pas fait l’objet de visites lors de ces relevés. Par conséquent, pour certaines colonies, les estimations de population les plus récentes proviennent du premier relevé exhaustif du littoral de la Colombie-Britannique, réalisé par le Royal British Columbia Museum au milieu des années 1970.

Depuis 1989, le SCF mène des relevés ciblant certaines colonies d’alcidés, de cormorans et de goélands le long de la côte de la Colombie-Britannique, et les résultats ont été inclus dans l’ensemble de données (la saisie des données est en cours). En plus des données des relevés effectués par le Service canadien de la faune, nous avons tenté d’obtenir des données récentes auprès de toutes les autres sources, notamment Parcs Canada, le ministère des Forêts, des Terres, de l’Exploitation des ressources naturelles et du Développement rural de la Colombie-Britannique, la Ville de Vancouver, la Bamfield Marine Station et la Laskeek Bay Conservation Society. Depuis l’an 2000, durant plusieurs années, Parcs Canada et ses partenaires (Réserve de parc national des Îles-Gulf, Réserve de parc national Pacific Rim et Réserve de parc national Gwaii Haanas) ont effectué d’autres inventaires des Huîtriers de Bachman nicheurs dans certains secteurs du littoral, et les résultats ont été intégrés à l’ensemble de données (la saisie des données est en cours). Une longue série chronologique de données sur les Huîtriers de Bachman nicheurs renfermant les données recueillies par la Laskeek Bay Conservation Society dans la zone de la baie Laskeek de la côte est de l’île Moresby a été intégrée à cet ensemble de données.</gmd:LocalisedCharacterString>
