It's #ploverappreciationday !
So it's only fitting that we highlight the work of adrifter @adrelia. Her research involves characterising hooded plover breeding habitat in Tasmania using coastal geomorphic landform features. 🏖
Another aim is to determine whether beach length is a factor affecting the distribution pattern of breeding territories.
🌊
Hooded Plovers are a threatened species and are prone to disturbance. If you see a pair on a beach, keep your distance. And remember to keep your doggos on a leash during the breeding season.

Islands aren't just great places to find seabirds. They are also 'hot spots' for biodiversity.

@meganlgrant was lucky enough to visit many tropical islands during her time as an honours students and snapped this awesome shot!

The Flesh-footed Shearwater is in danger from #plasticpollution
These chicks are fed plastic from their parent birds, who mistake marine debris as food.
🌊
Even just a few pieces of plastic can impact the birds health, like changing their blood chemistry! •

Check out our research on this threatened species at adriftlab.org 🔬

We had an amazing time this month helping out at the yearly larapuna / Bay of Fires community weekend! Over 3 days we cleaned beach debris and removed the invasive weed 'sea spurge'. •
This is the 3rd year adrift lab has taken part in the event, connecting with local community members and communicating our #plasticpollution research!
All our data was uploaded to @tangaroablue database!
Thanks to our friends at @taswalkingco @tasmaniaparks and the Friends of BoF / larapuna for organising the day!
