Opportunity mapping for nature-based solutions: Mitigating storm surge and land erosion in the Caribbean Open

Louise M. Soanes, Samuel Pike, Daniel S. Barker, Cheryl Butt, Lijo John , et al. · 2023

The islands of the Caribbean are particularly susceptible to the effects of climate change due to their low-lying coastal areas and location within the Atlantic basin's hurricane belt. The UK Overseas Territory of Anguilla is one such isla…

Passive acoustic monitoring of birds in the Lesser Antilles—a useful tool for monitoring remote sites? Open

Louise M. Soanes, Devon Carter, Laurel B. Symes, Jennifer C. Daltry, Holger Klinck , et al. · 2023

The monitoring of bird species across their geographic ranges is essential in order to assess population status and trends and to inform conservation action. However, undertaking monitoring, particularly in the long-term, is often resource…

Refining seabird marine protected areas by predicting habitat inside foraging range - a case study from the global tropics Open

Mark G. R. Miller, Graham Hemson, Julie Du Toit, Andrew McDougall, Peter I. Miller , et al. · 2023

Conservation of breeding seabirds typically requires detailed data on where they feed at sea. Ecological niche models (ENMs) can fill data gaps, but rarely perform well when transferred to new regions. Alternatively, the foraging radius ap…

Saving the sea turtles of Anguilla: Combining scientific data with community perspectives to inform policy decisions Open

Louise M. Soanes, James T. Johnson, Karen L. Eckert, K. Gumbs, Lewis G. Halsey , et al. · 2022

Historic over-exploitation and the more recent threats caused by fisheries by-catch, disease and climate change have left sea turtle populations in the Wider Caribbean at risk of extinction. In 1995, following regional declines in nesting …

Linking foraging and breeding strategies in tropical seabirds Open

Louise M. Soanes, Jonathan A. Green, Mark Bolton, G. Milligan, Farah Mukhida , et al. · 2021

The archetypal foraging behaviour of tropical seabirds is generally accepted to differ from that of their temperate and polar breeding counterparts, with the former exhibiting less predictable foraging behaviour associated with the less pr…

Seabird surveys of globally important populations in the British Virgin Islands Open

Susan Zaluski, Atoya George, Clive Petrivic, Judy Pierce, Nancy Woodfield‐Pascoe , et al. · 2019

The British Virgin Islands is home to two globally important and eight regionally important populations of breeding seabirds, distributed across the 60 islands that make up the territory. Here, we re-survey key sites within the islands to …

Spatial scales of marine conservation management for breeding seabirds Open

Steffen Oppel, Mark Bolton, Ana P. B. Carneiro, Maria P. Dias, Jonathan A. Green , et al. · 2018

Breeding density, fine‐scale tracking, and large‐scale modeling reveal the regional distribution of four seabird species Open

Ewan D. Wakefield, Ellie Owen, Julia Baer, Matthew J. Carroll, Francis Daunt , et al. · 2017

Population‐level estimates of species’ distributions can reveal fundamental ecological processes and facilitate conservation. However, these may be difficult to obtain for mobile species, especially colonial central‐place foragers ( CCPF s…

Important foraging areas of seabirds from Anguilla, Caribbean: Implications for marine spatial planning Open

Louise M. Soanes, Jennifer A. Bright, D. Carter, Maria P. Dias, Thomas Fleming , et al. · 2016

Marine spatial planning (MSP) has become an important tool to balance the needs of commercial, economical and recreational users of the marine environment with the protection of marine biodiversity. BirdLife International advocate the desi…
