American Golden-Plovers migrate thousands of miles from their nesting habitat in the Arctic to the grasslands of South America. Along the way, they rely on a few vital stopover sites to rest and refuel. Photo: Shiloh Schulte

Together we turn knowledge into hope.

Our global ecosystem is changing at a pace that none of us can keep up with. Birds are facing challenges from habitat loss, predators, and disturbance, and our coastlines struggle to be resilient enough to withstand ever-stronger hurricanes and storms. Meanwhile, rapidly warming ocean waters are creating uncertainty for harvesters and fishermen’s livelihoods.

For more than 55 years, Manomet Conservation Sciences has turned science into solutions that make our world more resilient.

From the north slope of Alaska to the southern tip of Argentina, we are studying shorebird decline and working across the Americas to protect critical habitats.

Our bird banding lab, which has been in continuous operation since 1969, has provided over five decades of migration data used by scientists worldwide.

We are working with partners to identify and restore key coastal resources and habitats.

And, we believe that education is a big part of creating long-term change. This is why we strive to inspire, mentor and guide educators and students to create the next generation of conservationists.

When you give to Manomet Conservation Sciences, you make this work possible.

Please consider a gift today to support our science and our shared commitment to a better, more resilient planet and future.

Thank you.

Every year, Manomet scientists and partner researchers fit new Whimbrels with GPS trackers to monitor their migratory patterns

Knowing where birds go throughout their annual lifecycle provides scientists with insights into regions where habitat management and conservation efforts have the most impact on rapidly declining shorebird species.

For more than 50 years, Manomet's Banding Lab has been connecting people of all ages to nature.

Manomet’s intertidal green crab research is often conducted with students and community scientists.

By understanding climate science, forest managers can develop science-based approaches to maximize the vitality and resilience of forests in a rapidly warming climate.
