Wednesday, July 1, 12pm in Classroom 3:
Dr. Julie Ellis, Ph.D
"Seabirds as sentinels for ocean health." The Seabird Ecological Assessment Network (SEANET) is a citizen science project that monitors marine bird mortality at beaches along the U.S. Atlantic coast. In addition to monitoring the numbers and species of dead marine birds, SEANET works with veterinarians to diagnose causes of disease and mortality. In this talk, Dr. Ellis discusses findings from several ongoing SEANET projects including plastic ingestion by pelagic seabirds, mass mortality events of Common Eiders (a species of sea duck), and antibiotic resistance in marine birds and mammals. Dr. Ellis is a world-renown expert on the island ecology of seabirds.
