Track migrating seabirds in real time with CIESM
Seabirds, highly threatened by global change, are now an integral part of CIESM research. Let's start with the migration of the Yelkouan Shearwater- a pelagic seabird endemic to the Mediterranean and Black Sea- on which so little is known. In late June, on a remote Croatian island, we equipped a dozen birds with extra-light satellite transmitters. So far 4 of them have left for their long journey - 2 way ahead in the Black Sea, 2 others (including a juvenile) in the Aegean, while the rest still fly around in the Adriatic. The front-runner has now reappeared on our radars in the north-eastern Black Sea, close to the Azov Sea - spawning grounds for millions of anchovies. Will the others follow or end their trip in Greek / Ionian waters?
Track them daily on the map … as long as our GPS transmitters resist. |
