Our HAB Event Response program is supporting an event in St. George, Alaska

A tufted puffin flies over the coast near St. George Island, AlaskaOur HAB Event Response program is supporting research to investigate the potential link between ongoing wildlife strandings at St. George, Alaska and a recent harmful algal bloom. Since early August, dozens of dead seabirds, including thick-billed murres, kittiwakes, and tufted puffins, along with sand lance, sculpins, and northern fur seals, have washed ashore on St. George Island. Rapid assessment of this event is vital to protect the ecosystems, human health, and food security in the Bering Sea. https://coastalscience.noaa.gov/news/nccos-assists-response-to-multispecies-mortality-event-in-st-george-island-alaska/
