  • Technical Report
  • The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California is investigating water quality at Castaic Lake in Los Angeles County, California and potential non-point sources of contamination that might impact water quality. If Western Gulls (Larus occidentalis) are a non-point source of contamination at the lake, management strategies may be considered to decrease the contamination attributed to the presence of gulls. Thus, beyond understanding the biology of Western Gulls (which has been investigated under a separate agreement), Metropolitan has sought to identify realistic options to manage gulls at Castaic Lake. If gulls are a source of contamination, a reduction of the time gulls spend at Castaic Lake would be the most expedient mechanism to reduce that contamination. Our goal was to develop options to alter number of gulls using Castaic Lake as a roosting site.
