American Birding Association Blog

Hi everyone! I made my first attempt at a blog post for the American Birding Association recently and wanted to share! It's a synthesis of material I've been posting in the lab notes here on this site, and hopefully marks the first of many blog posts to come in the future (I am learning that I really like this blogging thing :)

Open Mic: Seabirds and Plastic Pollution – What it Means for Ocean Ecosystems

About This Project

Plastic debris is choking our ocean ecosystems, including the Bering Sea. In this region, the seabirds and their prey mistake plastics for food, resulting in exposure to harmful plastic-associated chemicals like phthalates. We do not know the extent of phthalate exposure nor their effects on seabird health. We aim to build knowledge of phthalate exposure in Bering Sea seabirds to understand effects on reproduction, survival, and ecosystem health.

Blast off!
