Our 2014 field season is all wrapped up! Thanks to everyone for a great 25th season of research, monitoring, conservation and education!
Highlights of this past season:
- We welcomed 19 volunteers and 104 visitors to the island including 34 students from local schools
- Ancient Murrelet chick departures were slightly lower than last season, but comparable to the 2 previous years
- No raccoons were detected on the island and we expanded our monitoring program to include other islands in LB
- We conducted Black Oystercatcher surveys in both Laskeek Bay and in Gwaii Haanas.
