Ocean Encounters: Seabirds: Surviving life on the open ocean
Date & Time: Wednesday, February 14, 2024 07:30 PM EST
Description
Seabirds are uniquely adapted to life at sea—and uniquely vulnerable to its perils. Many spend the majority of their decades-long lives far from shore, flying thousands of miles over open water to find food, returning to land only to mate and raise their young.
Join us as we learn about these extraordinary animals and talk with scientists working to understand and protect them.
