	note = {{\textquotedblleft}Ocean conditions can greatly impact lower trophic level prey assemblages in marine ecosystems, with effects of ocean state propagating to higher trophic levels. In many regions throughout their range, common murre (Uria aalge) exhibit narrow dietary breadth in feeding chicks and therefore are vulnerable to recruitment failures of dominant prey species during the breeding season. Contrastingly, common murres nesting in the northern California Current off Oregon, exhibit high species diversity and variability in dominant prey consumed. We studied the diets of common murres over 10 years between 1998 and 2011, a period in which the northern California Current experienced dramatic interannual variability in ocean conditions. Likewise, murre diets off Oregon varied considerably. Interannual variation in murre chick diets was influenced by environmental drivers occurring before and during the breeding season, and at both basin and local scales.{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract)},

In the latter half of the chapter we offer an annotated list of candidate indicators for each of the three system components: the physical environment, the socio-economic system, and the the biological system. A concurrent table presents all candidate indicators, their constituent measures and proxies (if appropriate) and the relevant estuarine types within which the indicators are valuable."
