Long-term Study Reveals Declines, Helps Prioritize Conservation Efforts
If you spot a Brown Thrasher (Toxostoma rufum), linger a while in your observation of it. Take in the reddish brown of its topsides, the long tail, curved bill, and yellow eye. If you spot a Brown Thrasher you are lucky, for the species is in serious decline. Over the past three decades, spring and fall migratory bird banding at Manomet has documented this decline and that of dozens of other species. In a report in the quarterly journal of ornithology, The Wilson Bulletin (2004 Vol. 116, No 1), Avian Conservation Director Trevor Lloyd-Evans and co-author Jonathan L. Atwood detail the results of that research. Read more about Birds in the Balance.
The New England ground fishery is a complex, multi-species fishery. Managing it is equally complex because each species is managed separately, yet the fish swim together. Read more about Manomet's Fisheries Program on the History Channel.
Fishing in the 21st Century is the theme of an international marine symposium Manomet has been selected to host in Boston, October 29 through November 3, 2006. Read more about Manomet's Marine Symposium.
Manomet has one of the largest long-term databases on migrant landbirds in this hemisphere and is a leader in endangered species research and management. Read a summary of this year's fall banding season at Manomet.
For over 35 years, Manomet scientists have been assembling strong, working partnerships to conserve forest, wetland, marine, and agricultural habitats, as well as bird and wildlife populations throughout the Western Hemisphere. But we need your help. Give a gift today to conserve the environment for future generations to come. Read more about Manomet's Annual Appeal.
