New update from BAS. Sadly HPAI now detected in wandering albatross - the largest albatross species in the world.

🚨 1/2: A new study out today in Science Advances maps the overlap between fishing vessel activity and the distribution of top marine predators in the northeast Pacific Ocean, illuminating the hidden risk of unseen fishing vessel activity due to gaps in #AIS data.

Delighted to share our recent work at BLS8 Tokyo 🦭🐧 Special thanks to the organising committee for hosting such a fantastic event! 🇯🇵🙏🏽

And they’re off! Marine predator chaos over the Patagonian Shelf...and some fur seal pups doing their own thing and venturing east towards South Georgia 🦭🐧 What a cool dataset to be working with! 🇫🇰 📊👏 #FalklandIslands #animalmovement #penguin #seal #seabird Falkland Islands Gov

Esta semana estuvimos en el fin del mundo en un encuentro entre el mundo académico y la comunidad para intercambiar conocimientos en la 2° Conferencia Centro Internacional Cabo de Hornos (CHIC) en #PuertoWilliams. Estas instancias son sumamente importantes para la investigación científica. British Antarctic Survey 🐧 SAERI

Our researchers had a fantastic and productive week at Centro Internacional Cabo de Hornos (CHIC) conference in #PuertoWilliams 🌎Building scientific relationships and discussing exciting collaborative research opportunities! 🇫🇰🇬🇧🤝🇨🇱 British Antarctic Survey 🐧 Instituto Milenio BASE UK in Chile 🇬🇧🇨🇱 #FalklandIslands #Science

Really thrilled this work is now published in Ecography. A good example of how animal tracking data can be used to support wildlife disease surveillance and #HPAI risk assessment 🦠🦭🐧 A collaborative research effort bringing together 20+ years of tracking data 📊
