BLM OR/WA is offering this grant to investigate the ecological mechanisms influencing seabird productivity and population dynamics at Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area (YHONA). This grant is for conducting comprehensive research on the reproductive biology, foraging ecology, and population dynamics of breeding seabirds nesting at YHONA. A key focus will be understanding the impacts of increasing seabird predators, specifically bald eagles, on these populations. The recipient will collaborate closely with YHONA staff and USFWS personnel from the Oregon Coast Refuge Complex to understand significant population changes and anticipate future trends. This partnership ensures timely communication of results to key resource management entities, with field staff also engaging the public through regular updates and interactions.

| Description: | This study will investigate the ecological mechanisms affecting productivity and population dynamics of seabirds at Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area (YHONA). The recipient will study the reproductive biology, foraging ecology, population dynamics of breeding seabirds nesting at YHONA, as well as the impacts of seabird predators such as increasing populations of bald eagles. The recipient will work closely with YHONA staff and USFWS personnel from the Oregon Coast Refuge Complex (who have jurisdiction over most seabird colonies in Oregon) to understand why remarkable population changes have taken place and what future changes might be expected. These strategic partnerships also will ensure that results are communicated to key resource management entities in a timely fashion. Field staff working on this project will provide weekly research updates to BLM and USFWS interpreters at the lighthouse and directly to the public through regular interactions. |
