In this three minute video, Dr. Rebecca McGuire discusses why research on nesting Common Eiders is so important during a period of rapid environmental change and increased arctic shipping.
We are researching Common Eiders because:
They are thought to be the most vulnerable birds on the Arctic coastal plain to climate change.
They are one of the most vulnerable birds to oil spills associated with the increase in shipping in Arctic waters.
Common Eiders are likely being impacted by changes in storm surges and predation associated with both climate change and increased infrastructure in the Arctic. Common Eiders on their breeding and nursery grounds - the barrier islands of Kasegaluk Lagoon, in the Chukchi Sea.
