79
- In its current state, the model will need to be used on data with a primary focus on avians with a fixed view where they can easily be detected. With these modifications, the model can be deployed and used for further studies regarding specific densities of the fauna observed in Monterey Bay. The model could be well utilized in cases such as:

+ Example Study:
82
+ In the worlds current state, the Earth's climate is warming. A warming climate has been linked to seabird die-offs as they lose habitat and food availability. Though, the effect of warming on seabirds is very likely not equal in all parts of the world. Monterey Bay is a hotspot for seabirds due to its high biodiversity and nutrient richness. Loss in seabird life here will likely indicate the decline of the entire ecosystem, which incentivizes further efforts to monitor seabird populations here.
83
+ - Hypothesis: The amount of avians on the Monterey Bay coast will decrease as time passes as food availability is reduced as a product of warming climate.
84
+ - Methods: Model run on footage of the Monterey Bay coast utilizing track and count for several years. The model will sum the amount of birds counted in one year. After many years, data analysis can be performed to assess trends in avian population.
