    1st World Seabird Conference

    The 1st World Seabird Conference International Steering Committee, led by the Pacific Seabird Group and 25 other professional seabird and research organisations from around the world, is leading the development of this important, inaugural conference focused on seabirds. Through a strong conference program, the goal of this Conference is to put seabird management and conservation into a worldwide perspective. By bringing 500 - 600 participants from over 30 countries together, we will comprehensively address the global issues and data needs for these species, most of which inhabit multiple countries and waters within their own ranges.

    Conference Program

    Although numerous professional seabird groups and societies are active around the globe, conducting studies and promoting conservation, there has yet to be a single, global meeting to host seabird scientists, conservationists, and policy-makers. The goal of this first World Seabird Conference (WSC) is to provide this opportunity, and in so doing heighten awareness, focus, and attention on the world’s seabirds.

    A successful WSC will provide a blueprint for seabird science, information management and exchange, and management/conservation activities for the next decade.

     

    The scientific program includes:

    Primary Symposia - featuring the following themes

    • Climate Change and Seabirds: Comparative Ecosystem Dynamics of the World’s Oceans
    • Interactions between Seabirds and Fisheries: A Global Perspective
    • Spatial Ecology At Sea: Opportunities and Challenges for Seabird Marine Protected Areas
    • Seabird Colonies: Restoration and Engineering of Seabird Nesting Habitat


    Special Paper Sessions
    - including the following topics

    • Technological and Analytical Innovation in Seabird Research
    • Marine Debris
    • Interactive Effects of Chemical Contaminants, Parasites, and Stressors on Seabirds
    • Energetics, Physiology, and Nutrition
    • Seabird Demography
    • Seabird Informatics, Databases, and Longterm Monitoring
    • Seabird Phenotypic Plasticity and Microevolution
    • Evolutionary and Conservation Genetics of Seabirds

    Contributed Paper Sessions and Poster Sessions

    Abstract submission for contributed papers and posters is now open!
