Nordatlantisk sjøfuglseminar: 20.-21. april
For 30 år siden var krykkja den vanligste sjøfuglen i fuglefjellet på Runde,
i dag finnes det nesten ingen krykkjer igjen, og flere andre arter har problemer.
Hva har skjedd?
På årets seminar vil noen av de fremste sjøfuglekspertene fra Storbritannia,
Norge og Island gi presentere hva som er i ferd med å skje med sjøfuglbestandene på Runde,
Isle of May, Vestmannaøyene og i Nord-Atlanteren generelt.
Hva er endringene i sjøfuglbestandene symptom på, og hva kan vi gjøre?
Smakebiter fra noen av de aller siste nyvinningene innen forskningsbasert
sjøfuglforvaltning i Europa vil presenteres.
Det vil også arrangeres turer i fuglefjellet til fots eller med båt.
Tid og sted: 20.-21. april på Thon Hotel Fosnavåg
