Potential avian impacts are often a key
liability component of Natural Resource
Damage Assessment (NRD) under the Oil
Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA). This paper has
three purposes. The first is to provide NRD
practitioners with an overview of methods
commonly used to asses acute avian mortality
following oil spills. The second purpose is to
provide NRD practitioners with an
understanding of the BBM, the data required
to support BBM modeling, uncertainties
associated with BBM results, and steps that
can be taken to reduce those uncertainties.
Finally, we outline methods designed to help
Trustee and responsible party representatives
cooperatively identify optimal strategies
throughout the BBM process.
