Sea duck research and management is important for understanding marine bird ecology and conservation as well as the health of marine ecosystems. This book is a synthesis of all that has been learned about sea ducks, highlighting data gaps, and directing future research and conservation efforts. An edited volume prepared by leading experts in the field, it addresses specific issues by drawing on all available information on sea ducks (and other waterfowl and avian taxa where this contrast is informative).
