WHERE Turks and Caicos Islands
Summary
The Turk and Caicos Islands are a key breeding area for seabirds in the Caribbean, once supporting globally important numbers. Currently, almost nothing is known about the distribution, size, and health of populations. Coastal environments of TCI are under extreme pressure from rapid development, and improving our knowledge of seabirds is essential for their protection. This project will deliver population monitoring programmes to provide up-to-date seabird assessments, equipping local organisations with tools to monitor and manage seabirds, while engaging communities.
