Next Week -- The exchange of crews on Tern
Aloha kakou! This week is the final week for the crew currently on Tern: Ty Benally, Phillip Howard, Sarah Harvey, and Keith Burnett. They have done a great job, particularly in the face of numerous maintenance (and shark) issues. This crew has been the first on Tern to quantify shorebird mortality, to look at wedgetail shearwater burrow habitats and chick weights. They have also participated in the first vegetation monitoring in years, in addition to all the regular bird work. They will be heading out on the 23rd, back to Honolulu and home, after six months on the island. Trish Jackson will be staying over for a few more weeks, while the new Team Tern comes in. Thank you all for your hard work, patience with each other, and volunteered time!!!
