This focus paper details the methodology for assessing and mitigating potential impacts to Marbled Murrelet habitat on Washington Department of Natural Resources-managed lands. Key focus areas include quantifying harvest-related impacts, edge-influenced impacts, and disturbance-related impacts. The methodology also describes adjustments to mitigation values based on habitat quality, time, and location, such as marginal landscapes. The intended outcome is to provide a consistent analytical framework to evaluate different long-term conservation strategy alternatives for the species.
