decline, by far the fastest way to recovery is to increase adult survival. Therefore, efforts should be made to reduce predation (human or otherwise) on adults. To get equivalent results in increasing population growth by increasing juvenile survival will require enormous reductions in juvenile mortality. ‘U 0.1 ~O06 0 zO.04 ‘U E 4 ~O. 02 C.) z 0 JUVENILE SURViVAL ADULT SURVIVAL FERTILITY PARAMETERS OF CHANGE Figure rn-b. Results of a demographic sensitivity analysis. Given a stable population (r = 0), the results give the population growth rate that would result from a 10% increase in: juvenile survival only, adult survival only, and fertility only. Growth rates are most sensitive to changes in adult survival rates: a 10% increase in adult survival results in about an 8% increase in population growth. An equivalent increase in juvenile survival rate results in
adult survival. If there is any possibility of increasing adult survival, it should be given high priority. Second, a low proportion of first time nesters (22%) indicates reduced adult survival. Third, it is not likely that the decline was caused by decreased clutch size. Decreased fertility cannot be ruled out because of the lack ofinformation on the proportion of adult females which nest in a given year. Appendix 111- Page 13
