Publicity on research on shorebirds in the EAAF

Description

Chris Hassell, long term researcher with the Global Flyway Network (GFN), looks at the current state of play for intertidal mudflats, from Roebuck Bay and Eighty Mile Beach in Western Australia to Bohai Bay in China and Saemangeum in South Korea.

The Global Flyway Network continues research in Australia north-western Bohai Bay with hundreds of thousands of birds still flowing through that area on their northward migration to their breeding areas in the Arctic. The research at the study site is supported by Beijing Normal University, World Wildlife Fund Netherlands, Birdlife Netherlands and Spinoza Premium of Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research to Theunis Piersma (2014-2017).
