About the event

Seabirds are amongst the most globally-threatened of all birds.  In this talk Richard Phillips, a seabird biologist with the British Antarctic Survey, will provide an overview of the main threats to seabirds, including fisheries, invasive species and climate change.  He will also describe how research on their distribution and behaviour can help us understand the drivers of population change and prioritise management efforts to improve their conservation.  Richard is a world expert on seabird distribution at sea, and this promises to be a most informative evening.
