1 MCSPOP10-02 Chatham Island and Pitt Island shag census 11 Igor Debski 1, Mike Bell 2 & Dan Palmer 1 1. Science & Technical, Department of Conservation 2. Wildlife Management International Limited
2 Objectives (a) conduct a complete recensus of Chatham Island and Pitt Island shags in such a way as to maximise comparability with earlier counts in order to determine any trend in population size; and (b) investigate the effects of timing and methodology on colony counts, and make recommendations for future monitoring of the populations of Chatham Island and Pitt Island shags.
3 Chatham Island shag Pitt Island shag
4 Methods Followed the methods of Bell & Bell (00) as closely as feasible in order to maximise the comparability with 1997/98 Counted breeding pairs Timed counts at incubation when maximum counts would be made Extensive survey of all coast line suitable for shag nesting sites was conducted on 11 consecutive days, from 1 to 11 October 11 (except 3 outlying islands) Additional counts at sites where temporal variation known to be important On foot and by boat Also report results from a series of visits to breeding sites around main Chatham Island

17 Conclusions Results represent a real declines in the populations, with no information to suggest such substantial numbers of breeding pairs may have been missed in 11. Greatest declines in population for both species at Pitt Island and offlying islands, including protected, predatorfree sites. Declines likely to be driven by at-sea factors, but lack of information on causal mechanisms.
18 Recommendations Future survey methods: Counts should be timed to coincide with incubation at all colonies/breeding areas, recognising temporal variability. Boat/on foot methods should be standardised for any one area. Aerial photography is likely to be well suited for Chatham Island shags and should be trialled alongside ground counts.
19 Understanding causal factors: Describe the nature and extent of direct fishing impacts (see INT11-02). Quantify demographic parameters and identify which are leading to the decline. Describe the at-sea foraging habits (see proposed POP12-08). Quantify diet (see proposed POP12-08). Compare studies of the elements listed above between sites where colony trends differ (e.g. Motuhinahina vs Pitt Island area)
