Counting Penguins: Assessing the Significance of the Falkland Islands Seabird Monitoring Programme

Bronte Evans Rayward completed her PhD at the Scott Polar Research Institute with a focus on examining the environmental history of Bird Island, South Georgia, with a particular focus on sea bird monitoring. Her talk is an exploration of the annual Falkland Islands Seabird Monitoring Programme (FISMP).
