Beth Gardner, Sarah Converse, Amelia DuVall, and Eve Hallock (University of Washington) deployed 12 GPS logging tags with accelerometers on nesting Brown Booby (Sula leucogaster) individuals in fall 2023 to inform fine-scale foraging information linked to breeding success on Tetiaroa Atoll, French Polynesia. They plan to deploy an additional 15 units in spring 2024. They are also continuing to collect acoustic data with Audiomoths, as well as conducting point counts and nest density surveys for all seabird species across the atoll. To date they have banded 291 individuals of 5 species. Data collection is ongoing.
