Project

The Feeding Ecology of Atlantic Puffins During the Breeding Period
Using camera traps, this project examines the prey adult Atlantic puffins forage for their young while nesting. We are mainly seeking information on the change in prey supplied over this period. If a decrease in prey biomass or a change of targeted species is seen, this may have implications for puffin conservation which rests on the parents' ability to successfully raise their young.
