Excited to share the first paper from my PhD is out now in Journal of Animal Ecology! We investigate the impacts of winter storminess on auks and show diverging negative impacts of storms among guillemots, puffins, and razorbills!

With support from the project #FISH4ACP, the Fisheries Directorate of #SãoTomé and #Príncipe is implementing smartphone questionnaires to collect fisheries data 🐟

Training and testing just finished and data collection will start soon!

Very exciting to see this celebration of the work of so many people who care about seabirds 🌊 🥳

We'd love to see any new seabird tracking data for the next 20 years of marine conservation!

The current South African no-take zones have little benefit for the #africanpenguin. Four of the six zones include ≤50% of the penguins’ core foraging areas

Every year I've deployed cameras on the penguins I've said "wouldn't it be cool if we saw another logger bird on the footage".... My final camera bird coming up with the goods!
