- We (birders, bird watchers, ornithologists & naturalists) see extreme recent changes in the seabirds we study, and are concerned about Ocean health & our future generations (our children, grandchildren and beyond).
- We want many more birders/ornithologists/naturalists (and the wider population, of course) to become stronger advocates for Ocean health.
- To do that, birders/ornithologists/naturalists (especially YOUNGER birders/naturalists) need to become more interested in and more knowledgeable about the Ocean and marine ecosystem changes.
- We would also like to collaborate more with marine scientists, and want to find the best ways to do that, to help understand the complex of changes in the marine ecosystem. Can you help us by suggesting possible collaborations or what we should observe and measure?
The recent unprecedented winter travels of alcids, and especially Razorbills, for example, has us concerned. We need to learn more about marine ecosystems and to collaborate with marine scientists more, especially so that we know what we can do to help, perhaps what types of observations we should make, and what we should advocate for. If you would like to make suggestions about that, please contact me at robben99@gmail.com
Thank you,
