Restoring Endangered Seabirds: 

Lessons From Puffins and Terns

Lecture by World Renowned Birder and Author Dr. Stephen W. Kress, PhD

 

	

 


Dr. Stephen Kress, Director of National Audubon Society's Seabird
Restoration Program and Hog Island Audubon Camp, will review how techniques
developed on Maine islands have led to the restoration of puffins and terns
to historic nesting islands in the Gulf of Maine. Dr. Kress will also
discuss how techniques developed in Maine are helping seabirds worldwide.
His lecture includes reviews of several case studies in seabird restoration
that have benefited including restoration of Common Murres in California,
relocation of Short-tailed Albatross off of an active volcano in Japan,
rescuing the endangered Bermuda Petrel from rising oceans and defending the
world's rarest seabird the Chinese Crested Tern from egg poachers.  

 

        Dr. Kress will also share the recent discovery of the previously
unknown winter home for puffins - to an area known as the 'coral canyons'
off New England's continental shelf and a new opportunity to save this
biologically diverse habitat.   

 

Seating is limited. Go to www.asri.org to reserve your seat. Lecture is free
with donation.

 

Dr. Kress will be available after the lecture to sign copies of his book
Project Puffin: The Improbable Quest to Bring a Beloved Seabird Back to Egg
Rock. Available at the Audubon Society of Rhode Island Environmental
Education Center Nature Shop.
