The Science of Saving ShorebirdsHow will Opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to Oil Drilling Impact Breeding Shorebirds?
A team of Manomet scientists has just returned
from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) where they conducted
their final field season on the Arctic Refuge's remote North Slope. For
the past three years, Manomet has been working there to document how
opening the Refuge to oil development would affect shorebirds. Manomet
is particularly concerned because shorebirds concentrate on ANWR's
coastal plain, where drilling has been proposed. Manomet is taking a
leadership role in one of the most hotly debated environmental topics
of the last four years. Click here for more.
A shorebird that recently turned up near Jacksonville, Florida is creating a buzz in the international ornithological community. The bird, which had been banded 20 years earlier in Lagoa do Peixe in southern Brazil, is very likely the oldest Red Knot on record. Click here for more.
