The Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation’s (CERF) 20th biennial conference will be held in Portland, Oregon, USA over 1-5 November 2009 with the theme of “Estuaries and Coasts in a Changing World”.  Click here for the conference web site.

 

A conference session with the title “Long-term trends in marine birds and environmental change” is being planned.  Marine birds are numerous and conspicuous organisms in the marine ecosystem.  They breed on coastal areas or offshore islands, and spend most of their lives at sea, where they obtain most of their food by travelling some distance over its surface.  There is compelling evidence suggesting that climate change is affecting marine birds around the globe. The session will examine long-term changes in marine birds and their association with anthropogenic and climate change.

 

The session will be convened by Jaime Jahncke (Esta dirección de correo electrónico está siendo protegida contra los robots de spam.
