Ecology and Conservation of Large Marine Vertebrates

Our research focuses on learning about the movements and foraging ecology of marine predators and mitigating threats on protected species and their habitats, on land and at sea.

We are tracking the post-breeding migration and winter distribution of Wedge-tailed Shearwaters nesting at the Freeman Seabird Preserve in O’ahu, Hawai’i, using geolocator tags.

Meet the current and past students, working and learning at Hawai’i Pacific University, and our project partners throughout the North Pacific.

Pelagicos research documeting Hawaiian seabird groundings due to light pollution was featured in this article on the detrimental impacts of artificial light at night (ALAN).
