Description

the RSPB has become increasingly concerned about the decline in sandeels in the North Sea and the associated chronic declines in populations of dependent seabirds. To better understand the remedial action necessary, they convened a workshop of leading experts to discuss sandeel ecology, interactions, knowledge gaps and potential conservation actions.

Participated in discussions about (a) evidence for decline in sandeels (b) ecosystem impacts (c) possible management action (d) long term monitoring of populations
