Two back-to-back talks from coastal Newfoundland on saving seabirds at sea.
Exploring the sensory world of Leach’s Storm-Petrels: Learn from Tori Burt M.Sc. on how artificial light and scent cues near the species’ largest colony drive coastal strandings, and what simple changes can reduce risk.
Assessing bycatch & mitigation in Newfoundland fisheries: Hear from Robert Blackmore M.Sc. on how field tests in 2024–2025 on shallow- and deep-set gillnets and longlines compare standard practice vs. tweaks to set/haul timing and soak duration, plus a predator-shaped “scary bird” kite. Early-morning hauls for herring gillnets show promise for lowering bycatch, with ongoing kite trials through 2026 and notes on Canada-wide reporting gaps.
Recorded live on September 17, 2025.
