A magic encounter ✨ …and with my favourite the bridled guillemot. Back doing fieldwork on Hornøya #seabirds NINAnature

Another encounter with #fishing nets that are killing #seabirds. We couldn't save the shag anymore, but the guillemot got to live. #fieldwork at Sklinna #Norway for SEAPOP NINAnature

Ringing Kittiwakes at Ekkerøy in East Finnmark while being filmed by national TV. Colab with vets - checking for HPAI antibodies after last years devastating outbreak that killed 15k. Chick productions is promising and weather is fab! #seabirds NINAnature

Are you joining us in Asker 25-26 September to the SEAPOP Seminar? The title this year: Stille kyst - status og trusler for norske sjøfugl. The seminar will be in Norwegian. More info and link to registration: seapop.no/2024/06/velkom…

Fieldwork on Hornøya is continuing. Ringing and tagging of puffins and razorbills in all kinds of weather, is primary focus at this stage. All birds handled carefully and with special permits. #seabirds #SuperSeabirdSunday #seatrackscience SEAPOP NINAnature

GPS #biotracking of #shags on Sklinna done for this season. We got 59 of 60 trackers back. GPS & dive loggers help us identify important foraging areas, critical for marine spatial planning. #seabirds #mpa SEAPOP NINAnature

New paper #EnvSciTech! Combining biologging & ecotoxicology reveals that migratory seabirds can act as biovectors of PFAS to the Arctic! doi.org/10.1021/acs.es… CEBC/ChizéLab @_IPEV SEATRACK project La Rochelle Université McGill University NINAnature @NorskPolar @NILU_now

The fieldseason on Sklinna was a success also this year. Lots of data collected, lots of loggers deployed. Want to know more? - read my blog post: ninadehnhard.wordpress.com/2024/07/20/yet…… SEAPOP NINAnature #seabirds #biotracking #fieldwork

New study led by Kate Layton-Matthews/NINAnature investigates the impact of multiple #threats (#pollutants and #climate) to #seabirds and investigates causes of decline in great black-backed #gulls seapop.no/en/2024/09/mod…

Every other year, SEAPOP organizes a seminar and gives a run-through the topics we are working with. The presentations of this year's seminar (in Norwegian) are now accessible here: seapop.no/2024/10/vellyk… NINAnature @NorskPolar

New article on #plastics in #faeces samples of shag chicks. 25 out of 36 samples contained microplastics > 100 µm; we found 17 particles per g dry mass and clear evidence for parental transfer of plastics #seabirds #pollution NINAnature SEAPOP sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New report about seaweed harvesting on possible effects on #seabirds and #shorebirds from NINAnature. GPS #tracking data collected through SEAPOP show a strong overlap in area use for some coastal seabird populations with areas that are trawled. nina.no/Om-NINA/Aktuel…

SEATRACK got a new website with better functionality and better access to documents: seatrack.net Click yourself through and learn more about the non-breeding distribution of north-Atlantic seabirds! seapop.no/en/2024/12/new…

#Fieldwork for SEAPOP has started. Counting kittiwakes in Rørvik. NINAnature

Our annual pamphlet with a summary of last year's breeding season and updates about survival and other news from the Norwegian colonies is out (in Norwegian only). A shorter version in English is coming soon. seapop.no/2025/06/ny-ars… #seabirds

Our annual key-site monitoring report is out, with information about breeding success, changes in population numbers etc. per monitored colony. seapop.no/en/2025/07/rep… NINAnature & Norsk Polarinstitutt

SEAPOP launches new data products that show #seabird distribution, environmental value and vulnerability to offshore wind farms. Data can be downloaded free of charge in form of maps (raster or vector format) seapop.no/en/2025/08/nye…
