SEANET BEACHED BIRD SURVEYS
CRESLI and Dowling Collegeare teaming up with SEANET (The Seabird Ecological Assessment Network) to help perform important research via beached bird surveys. These surveys are being carried out to identify and record information about bird mortality along the northeastern coast. Data collected by SEANET volunteers are used to examine the spatial pattern of bird carcass deposition and how it varies across time. Because regular monitoring of beached birds has not been done in this region, these surveys will provide baseline information about bird mortality as well as help detect mass mortality events such as oil spills. Seabirds are especially sensitive to petroleum and other pollution, because the physical properties of oil degrade the insulating and waterproofing properties of feathers, and ingestion or inhalation of oil can also poison birds. Because there is a large amount of shipping traffic offshore, there is a great risk to seabirds from both large spill events and small-scale discharge of waste from boats on a daily basis. Numerous other threats such as contaminants, diseases, and offshore development threaten coastal and marine birds, which can serve as indicators of ecosystem and human health...
