Workshop for seabird scientists in Troms\u00f8<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The annual SEATRACK meeting was arranged in Troms\u00f8 on 11-13 November. Recent results and new research were presented and further work for monitoring arctic seabirds in the SEATRACK-programme was planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEATRACK aims to map the distribution of seabirds outside the breeding season and to understand how population trends in the colonies are affected by the conditions on their wintering grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 One part of the programme has an important conservation purpose, whereas another part focuses on scientific publications of the results, says seabird ecologist and project leader Hallvard Str\u00f8m from the Norwegian Polar Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we know a little, but still not enough about where seabirds gather outside the breeding season. SEATRACK will therefore provide more knowledge as to when and where seabirds migrate. Such knowledge is needed to evaluate the environmental threats faced by these vulnerable seabird populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To track the seabirds\u2019 migration routes outside the breeding season, SEATRACK uses small light loggers attached to the bird\u2019s leg. The light loggers continuously record light-levels, which scientists can use to calculate the bird\u2019s position and hence migration route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies are carried out in Norway, including Svalbard and Jan Mayen, as well as in Russia, Iceland, Greenland, Canada, Faroe Islands, UK and Ireland, with scientists from all these nations participating. The Norwegian Polar Institute leads the project, in collaboration with the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The participants who met in Troms\u00f8 came from Russia, Norway, Greenland\/Denmark, Canada, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Poland, UK and Ireland, and represented around 30 institutions across the North Atlantic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase one of the SEATRACK project was completed in 2018. Phase 2 of the programme runs in 2019-2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
