Type II errors on the Grand Banks

This summary discusses Type II errors, particularly in the context of the Grand Banks and chronic oil spills. A Type II error occurs when an effect is undetected due to inadequate experimental design, aligning with the Precautionary Principle. The summary highlights studies on Thick-billed Murres and Dovekies through beach surveys, the attraction of marine life to oil platforms, and the lack of effective monitoring as industries self-report. It raises concerns about the implications of limited information and oversight on potential environmental impacts.
