WHERE St Helena
Summary
St. Helena’s coastline was historically home to large colonies of seabirds and nesting turtles. However, as human activity on the island increased, the number of nesting birds declined. This project aims to update and expand surveys of key areas initially identified in 2012, improve population data using new monitoring techniques, and enhance habitats by identifying threats and community engagement. The project looks to enrich knowledge via a coastal management report, to inform the upcoming review of the Marine Management Plan.
