Seabird conference in Bodø
The decline in seabird populations is dramatic. More and more species end up on the red list of endangered seabirds. On April 3-4, the Vegaøyan World Heritage Foundation invites you to a seabird conference at Stormen in Bodø.
A total of 16 of the 28 marine seabird species in Norwegian waters during the year are on the Norwegian Red List. But we can help the birds! On April 3rd - 4th, the Vegaøyan World Heritage Foundation will bring together researchers, managers, birdwatchers, politicians, coastal fishermen, artists, youth and all other interested parties for a dialogue about what the situation is and what we can do to help the seabirds. Join us and have your say and provide input. Remember to register. Click here.
The project is part of Bodø as European City of Culture 2024. Read more about Sound of Silence , VAGRANT, the Seabird Archive on its way home and the bird village in Breivikfjæra on Sound of Silence
We will also be focusing on seabirds on Vega. This will happen on July 1-3, when we will be celebrating 20 years of World Heritage, visiting the Lånan dune and holding a seabird conference. We will return with more information about this event in the spring. But save the dates.
