Bird habitat preferences are related to habitat type and disturbance in the Owabi Wildlife Sanctuary, Ashanti Region (Ghana)
<p><b>Context:</b> Globally, an estimated 1.3% of the bird population has gone extinct over the last millennia largely due to loss of habitat preferences.</p> <p><b>Aims:</b> This short-term study investigated disturbance-related drivers as predictors of bird habitat selection and assemblages in the Owabi Ramsar wetland.</p> <p><b>Methods:</b> The study was carried out over a five-month period (May to September 2019), in four habitat types (farmlands, Built-up, forest reserve, and open water area). Data was collected in 84 plots across four habitats, using a point-count cantered technique. The Gambin model, nMDS, Chao-1, and Hill numbers models were used to evaluate bird distribution, habitat preferences, and diversity, while the CCA ordination technique was performed to examine the influence of drivers on bird assemblages.</p> <p><b>Key results:</b> In all 1,260 individual birds, belonging to 81 species were identified. The Majority of the birds preferred the farmlands and built-up habitats in spite of the severe disturbance (e.g., crop farming, sand winning, and fire), accounting for 55.39% variability in their community structure. The open water was the least preferred habitat and was dominated by the White-faced whistling duck. Despite the drop in species similarity with increasing disturbance from the open water to the built-up, fewer than five species were widely distributed in all the four habitats (e.g., Bronze-mannikins and White-throated bee eater), indicating their broad range habitat preferences and ability to adapt to varied conditions. The forest reserve tended to be the most diverse, reflecting the spatial distribution of birds mediated by nesting microhabitats, varied food availability, less predation, and low disturbance.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The study adds to previous work on the impact of increasing disturbance on the Owabi Ramsar wetland ecosystem. This study particularly highlights the role of disturbance-related drivers and habitat type in bird habitat preference and the need to intensify conservation activities within the catchment of the Owabi Wildlife Sanctuary.</p> <p><b>Implications:</b> Giving the increasing level of disturbance, there is the likelihood that the forest and water-dependent bird population will decline sooner if managers of the wildlife sanctuary fail to halt dumped solid waste in the open water, logging and expansion of croplands into the forest reserve.</p>

Baseline Marine Debris Data (2015-2023) - Proposed Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary
<p>This dataset is synthesized coastline marine debris data from three existing sources and primary collected data. It covers the Central California region from Cambria to Naples for the years 2015-2023. This file contains 40 marine debris item type categories, 6 marine debris material type categories (plastic, glass, metal, cloth, paper and wood, mixed), and 7 marine debris source activity categories (personal hygiene, recreation, smoking, eating and drinking, fishing, dumping, and various). This data set is part of the broader research project conducted by students at the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management. See the research project's abstract for more information: </p> <p>California is both a major source of anthropogenic marine debris and an area particularly vulnerable to its damaging impacts. However, little is known about the quantities and impacts of marine debris in the proposed Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary (CHNMS) along the central coast of California. This project, conducted by graduate students through the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management at the University of California, Santa Barbara, creates a baseline assessment of marine debris in the proposed CHNMS. It aims to inform the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Sanctuaries West Coast Regional Office, along with sanctuary management partners and local communities, about local marine debris and potential management measures. Existing community science beach cleanup data and primary collected data were analyzed to understand spatial patterns in quantities and types of marine debris. We found that plastic debris is the most common material type; areas with the greatest debris densities are likely the Morro Bay, Avila Beach, Five Cities, and Gaviota Coast areas. Smoking, eating, and drinking are major activities that contribute to coastal debris in this region. Alongside this quantitative analysis, analyses of policies and interviews with agencies, local organizations, research institutes, and Indigenous communities revealed that current policies may not be effective at reducing marine debris, despite strong concern for marine debris and its impacts on the coastal environment in this region. Based on these findings, we recommend streamlining debris collection protocols with standardized debris categories and effort metrics, implementing innovative policies to reduce marine debris sources, ensuring co-stewardship of the CHNMS to include and prioritize Indigenous perspectives, and conducting additional research on marine and land-based sources of debris. These recommendations will enhance monitoring and mitigation of marine debris in the CHNMS.</p>
