| Important murre colonies are located on Akpatok Island, and the waters near the island are important for seals, walrus and beluga whales. |
|
| Since 2003, there has been stability in the population of the herring gull and a decrease in the common murre and the Atlantic puffin. |
|
| It allows regional biologists to more closely monitor harvest, hunting activity, and trends in murre populations. |
|
| Alcidae, bird family, order Charadriiformes, which includes the birds known as auk, auklet, dovekie, guillemot, murre, murrelet, and puffin. |

|
| The kittiwake, puffin, and murre colonies on islands in Witless Bay and at Baccalieu Island in Newfoundland and Labrador are visited by regular tourist boats. |
|
| The life history traits of the razorbill are similar to that of the common murre. |
|
| Individual nesting sites can be widely spaced, as in an albatross colony, or densely packed as with a murre colony. |
|
| In the current case study, we deal with the common murre restoration program in Spain. |

|
| Accompanying him were international marketing and sales director Ginger Taggart and international sales director Jean-Marc Murre. |
