The 15th International Seabird Group Conference will be held in Ireland next year

The United Kingdom-based Seabird Group has announced that the 15th International Seabird Group Conference will be hosted by University College Cork over 22-25 August 2022 in Cork, Ireland.  The conference was originally due to be held in Cork this year but will now take place in 2022.

“The Seabird Group, a registered charity, was founded in 1966 to promote and help coordinate the study and conservation of seabirds.  It maintains close links with other national and international ornithological bodies.  Members receive, and can contribute to, regular newsletters, and the colour journal Seabird, published annually.   The Group organises regular international conferences and provides small grants towards research and survey projects. It was part of the SEABIRD 2000 partnership, a major initiative to census [sic] all the seabirds breeding in Britain and Ireland between 1998 and 2002.  The Group actively encourages its members to get involved in surveys of seabirds and other research work.”

More information will be posted on the conference when it becomes available.
