SeaDoc's Western Grebe tracking project covered in Argos Forum magazine

Kyra Mills-Parker of the Oiled Wildlife Care Network at UC Davis covered the Western Grebe transmitter project in the Argos Forum magazine in an article entitled, "Oil and Seabirds Don't Mix: New Techniques for Tracking Western Grebes After Oil Spills."

Argos Forum covers scientific uses of the Argos satellite tracking equipment used in the grebe study. There's also an interesting article on tracking debris from the tsunami in Japan.

Here's the link to the publication of the surgical technique: Short-term survival and effects of transmitter implantation into Western Grebes using a modified surgical procedure.

Why our work matters

Healthy ecosystems support economic prosperity. The Salish Sea provides abundant natural capital that contributes substantially to the financial prosperity of the region. Unhealthy ecosystems cost money because we lose the opportunity to benefit from them. The Salish Sea's deteriorating health threatens our economic well being and quality of life. SeaDoc uses science to find solutions to the problems facing the fish, wildlife and people of the Salish Sea.
