Leach’s #StormPetrels (LESP) are declining rapidly. They are nocturnal and exhibit #lightattraction, so anthropogenically lit structures pose risk. In #Newfoundland, they forage near #oilplatforms, but the consistency of the risk was previously unknown.

Power down for Petrels! @MemorialUSci Student Tori Burt presented her study @PacificSeabirds’ 2023 annual conference in San Diego, CA, finding that turning off lights significantly reduced the number of Leach’s Storm Petrel strandings at a mass stranding site in Bay de Verde, NL.

[Tori Burt @ToriBurt6106]

Had the wonderful opportunity of presenting at #PSG2023 this past week! A great way to meet others in the seabird world and hear all about research being done across the globe 😊
