This project aims, as part of a larger SEANET effort from Nova Scotia to Delaware, to develop a long-term monitoring
database in which seadbird mortality and demographic information will be collected at specific beaches in New Jersey and New York repeatedly
throughout the year in order to evaluate differential bird deposition rates. |
The Jamaica Bay Institute (JBI) at Gateway National Recreation Area (GNRA), along with Wildlife Trust, Harbor Herons Subcommittee of the NY-NJ Harbor Estuary Program, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service sponsored the Harbor Herons, Cormorants, and More - Current Research and Future Planning meeting, November 30 - December 1, 2006, Fort Wadsworth, Staten Island, New York.
