Studying fishing boats’ routes could assist better coastal planning and ultimately protect threatened seabirds, according to new research from University College Cork (UCC). An international team, led by the Marine Ecology Group at MaREI, the SFI Research Centre for Energy, Climate and Marine hosted by UCC, equipped seabirds with the latest tracking technology and found that fishing vessels can help figure out where the birds go to feed.
