Common scoter (Melanitta nigra) Monitoring in Carmarthen Bay following the Sea Empress Oil Spill. April 1997 to March 1998.
The Common Scoter Melanitta nigra is listed in Annex II/2 of the EC Directive on the Conservation of Wild Birds (79/409/EEC), and occurs on the red list of the UK's Species of Conservation Concern. Carmarthen Bay, southwest Wales, is by far the most important wintering site in Wales. On 24 February 1996, large amounts of oil from the stricken Sea Empress tanker entered Carmarthen Bay. Following the oil spill, a monitoring programme was immediately established by the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) to record numbers and distribution of Common Scoters in Carmarthen Bay. Data collected to assess the impact of the Sea Empress oil spill on common scoter populations in Carmarthen Bay, Wales.

A total of 26 land-based counts were conducted at two-week intervals between 21 March 1997 and 14 March 1998. A similar monitoring strategy to that used during the previous year was implemented to ensure compatibility of data: Carmarthen Bay was divided into 13 sectors and each counted from vantage points collectively covering all coastal areas of the bay. Four aerial surveys of Carmarthen Bay were conducted during 1997/98: on 22 November 1997 and 31 January, 21 February and 14 March 1998. As in the previous winter, a high-winged Cessna 185 was used, flying at 500-550 ft altitude and at 90-100 knots. A sustained program of monitoring scoters in Carmarthen bay has been in place since 1997.
