摘要: Abstract Marine fauna in the California Current System is susceptible to entanglement anthropogenic debris. We examined beach survey data from six counties describe trends of entangled marine birds and mammals (1997–2017). Surveyors reported 357 cases entanglements among 65,604 carcasses. Monterey County had greatest average rate (0.007) surveyed counties, however, was not statistically different Santa Cruz (p > 0.05). Twenty-six seabird species (97%) three mammal (3%), non-marine were affected. Numerically, Common Murre (23%), Brandt's Cormorant (13%), Western Gull (9.6%), Sooty Shearwater (8%) Brown Pelican (7%) most affected due abundance, but their rates The vulnerable those frequently documented as despite low deposition numbers (Merganser spp. 25%). Entangling material consisted primarily monofilament line (some hooks/lures), other items reported.
