6 Local Committee Welcome The Local Organizing Committee of the Pacific Seabird Group’s 43rd Annual Meeting welcomes you back to Hawaii and the Turtle Bay Resort tucked away on O`ahu’s famous North Shore. We have spent the last year planning and hope that this will be a memorable, and for once, warm, week for you all. At the time of printing, we had approximately 300 people registered from ten countries making this one of the largest PSG meetings to date. With our diverse attending group, and a wide range of over 175 scientific papers to attend, we are sure that there will be something for everyone.

This year’s location is unique in that many of our events will be partially held outside to take advantage of the warm weather, and is in keeping with our theme of “Responses and Reslience” which will focus heavily on restoration and conservation techniques. We hope you enjoy this year’s meeting!

Aloha,

Lindsay C. Young Chair, Local Organizing Committee

Message from the Scientific Program Chair Welcome! The theme of this meeting is “Seabirds: Responses and Resilience.” This theme runs through many presentations that will elucidate how seabirds are responding to changes in climate and anthropogenic impacts. Other presentations will focus on the positive responses to improvements in breeding habitat, eradications, and bycatch mitigation. They demonstrate the resilience of some seabirds in their ability to buffer the challenges they face.

We will start the conference off with a symposium on rare Pacific Alcids, and we will end the conference with a special paper session on Dovekies, one of the most numerous Alcids in the world. We have total of 7 special paper sessions that highlight research in a diverse array of seabird topics. Two special events this year are a round-table discussion led by David Duffy where we can share observations and thoughts on seabird responses to recent oceanographic anomalies, and on Saturday morning, we will honor recipients of the Special Achievement and Lifetime Achievement Awards. The presentations on the awardees’ lives and accomplishments usually occur after the banquet but since we will be out under the stars, we decided to have this event inside, in the morning with coffee. Awardees will receive their award and speak after the banquet and student awards will be presented then as well.

A unique feature of PSG meetings is the in-depth conversations that develop during the talks and posters, and the friendships that form through our mutual interest in seabird conservation. I invite students and early career scientists to engage in these conversations by asking lots of questions. Presenters—please leave time for these questions; they are often the beginnings of extraordinarily enriching interactions.

I am deeply indebted to Lindsay Young, Local Committee Chair, Kathy Kuletz, Chair, and Jo Smith, Former Chair, who have worked ceaselessly to make this meeting a success! I am awe-struck by their dedication. They have faced many challenges and showed tremendous resilience! A special thank you to the EXCO members, especially Jane Dolliver, Secretary, and Christine Ogura, Treasurer, and Andrew Titmus, student representative, for all their hard work. To everyone who volunteers for PSG, Mahalo!

Food will be provided and lively discussion is guaranteed.

Round Table Discussion of Recent Anomalies in the Pacific Fri 12 Feb 1700 - 1830 This discussion will be facilitated by David Duffy and will be a chance to share your observations and opinions about seabird responses to recent anomalies in the Pacific.

Presentations honoring SAA and LAA Awardees Sat 13 Feb 8:45 – 9:45 We will honor the awardees with presentations about their life and achievements. Coffee will be served.

11 Banquet/luau, presentation of awards - Sat 13 Feb 1830 The final conference event will take place on Saturday 13 February at 1830 outdoors of the conference center. The menu will be a Hawaiian-style luau (buffet) with plenty of fresh seafood as well as vegetarian options. Come for dinner and dancing under the stars (or tent in the event of rain).

The awards ceremony will follow the banquet, and is open to all registered attendees, even if you did not purchase a banquet ticket. PSG’s Lifetime and Special Achievement Engraved Crystal Awards will be presented to awardees, as will awards for best student papers and best student poster.

If you would like to attend the banquet, and did not sign up at the time you registered, you can do so up until 1700 on Thurs Feb 11th at the registration desk. Please wear your name tag throughout the evening.

Silent auction- The silent auction will be held from Thursday 11 February through Saturday 13 February and will end at 12:15pm (over lunch!) to allow time to pay for and claim items. All proceeds from the silent auction will be used to support our student travel award program. Come and bid on some beautiful artwork, books, photographs and unique Hawaiiana items that have been donated for the auction. Sheets will be placed next to each item; indicate your bid on the sheet. Successful bidders should claim their item before the banquet at 1830 on the 13th. We will accept payment by cash, check or credit card for items won. If you would like to donate items, please drop them off at the registration desk.

Foraging Strategy Lunches Lunch will be provided for all conference registrants on the 11th, 12th and 13th during the scientific program days. It will consist of either a sandwich or wrap. There are also multiple restaurants on-site (see hotel map) with a variety of lunch options. For those of you with transportation, there are also plenty of small restaurants within a 5-10 minute drive of the hotel in the sunset beach or Kahuku area. A short drive west (go up to the main road and turn right) will take you to the ‘shrimp trucks’ that serve large plates of garlic shrimp, rice and vegetables from the nearby shrimp ponds. This is a favorite local lunch stop, and a great place to see endangered water birds foraging in the shrimp ponds.

Breaks Both the morning and afternoon breaks during the scientific session will have coffee, tea and light snacks for participants. Due to the high cost of providing food at this location, we ask that you wear your name tag to all functions so that we can avoid any ‘gate crashers’ and keep the costs down.

Poster reception Included in your registration fee is the evening Hors d’oeuvres (called pupus in Hawaii) and a coupon for one drink during the poster session. There will be a variety of items available, including vegetarian options.

Banquet As described above, the closing banquet will serve a variety of local Hawaiian dishes for those that have registered. Banquet tickets may be purchased at the registration desk on February 10th and 11th.

12 Field Trips

There are multiple exciting field trip options for our meeting this year, from the local day trips to inter-island trips. Descriptions of where to meet, and what to bring are below.

Oahu Day Trips: Oahu birding tour Mon Feb 9th 6am-6pm and Sun Feb 14th 6am-6pm This trip will take participants on a 3-4 mile hike in the southern Koolau mountains to observe the three native Oahu forest birds: Oahu Elepaio, Oahu Amakihi and Apapane. It will then continue around the southeast of Oahu stopping at Makapuu and Lanai lookout to observe Red-tailed Tropicbirds, White terns, Red-footed and Brown boobies from shore. From there the tour will conclude in Kailua where Hawaiian Coot, Hawaiian Moorhen, Hawaiian Stilt and Black-crowned Night Herons are often found in the wetlands. Participants should meet in the hotel lobby no later than 6am and bring adequate hiking clothes, food, water and a rain jacket. Lunch will not be provided, but a stop will be made for participants to purchase lunch if they do not bring their own.

Hawaii Island Trip (50 minute flight from Honolulu) *Please note that you will be responsible for your own travel costs and reservations from Oahu to any neighbor island field trip*

Hakalau National Wildlife Refuge Tour (Hawai`i Island) Mon Feb 15th 6:30am- 6pm.

Named by Hawaiians long ago, hakalau means "many perches" and is still considered critical rainforest bird habitat today. Once part of large cattle ranch, it was the first National Wildlife Refuge established in the United States for forest birds. It is home to some of the rarest plants and animal species on earth. Participants should fly into the Kona Airport the evening on the 11th and plan on staying in the Kona area that evening. The trip departs from Waikoloa Kings’ Shops, Highway 190/200 Junction and Hawaii Forest & Trail Headquarters. Breakfast and lunch will be provided; participants should bring sturdy closed-toe shoes or boots, long pants, and a light rain jacket.

13 Special Paper Sessions

Move Them or Lure Them: Translocation and Social Attraction in Seabird Conservation Co-conveners: Drs. Lindsay Young and Eric VanderWerf Translocation and social attraction are being increasingly used as tools to manage seabirds and help restore ecosystem function. Particularly with the recent development of large scale pest eradication and exclusion techniques, pest- free islands and fenced sanctuaries are being evaluated for their potential to serve as seabird breeding sites. However, due to the strong natal philopatry many seabirds exhibit, natural colonization of these newly restored sites by seabirds may occur slowly or not at all. To increase the colonization rate, managers have developed a variety of passive and active seabird restoration techniques. Social attraction relies on passive methods including broadcast of acoustic signals such as courtship calls and visual signals such as decoys. Translocation is a more active approach that involves physically moving chicks or eggs, hand-rearing them at a new site, and relying on their inherent natal philopatry to ensure their return at the desired location. This session will present several case studies involving a variety of taxa from projects using both types of techniques from around the Pacific to facilitate information exchange across regions.

Restoring Nesting Habitat for Seabirds Co-conveners: Jennifer Boyce and Scott Hall Invasive plants on islands have had major detrimental impacts on seabird populations across the Pacific. This special paper session will present a wide variety of projects that have employed novel techniques to remove invasive plants and restore seabird habitats by revegetating seabird habitat with native plants. Papers will include case studies from the Channel Islands (Santa Barbara Island and Scorpion Rock) and Año Nuevo Island in California, Hawaiian Islands (Palmyra and Midway Atolls), Chilean Islands (Juan Fernández), and others. Talks will present various methods and lessons learned from the habitat restoration projects that be used as models for projects to follow when embarking on future habitat projects. The session will conclude with a roundtable group discussion where meeting attendees can discuss in more depth lessons learned and strategies for a comprehensive approach to habitat restoration for seabirds.

Seabirds in Northeast Asia Co-conveners: Dr. Daisuke Ochi and Gregg Howald This special paper session will highlight recent research on seabirds in Northeast Asia and help to promote continued development of Asian involvement in PSG, including Japan, the Republic of Korea, the People`s Republic of China, and other nearby countries. Research on seabirds has increased dramatically in this area in recent years, with new data on a variety of species that should be presented to the international seabird community. After having a Special Paper Session on Japanese and Korean Seabirds at the Juneau PSG meeting in 2014, the Japanese Seabird Conservation Committee of PSG decided to expand to become the Northeast Asia Seabird Conservation Committee (NASCC). This paper session encourages new and existing participants in the NASCC to present their research.

3rd Marine Spatial Planning Session Convener: Dr. Joanna Smith and David Pereksta Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) continues to be used to analyse existing and future human activities in the ocean and allocate space for multiple objectives – ecological, economic and socio-cultural. MSP is a public process specified through a political process, with decisions made by governments based on the best available science, expert and local knowledge, and stakeholder consultations. Globally, 10 countries have approved marine plans for waters under national jurisdiction, accounting for nearly 13 million square kilometres. By 2025, this number is likely to increase to more than 35 countries and 44.3 million square kilometres. In addition, MSP processes are underway to address planning needs at regional or local scales. Building on the previous PSG Marine Spatial Planning Sessions in Turtle Bay, HI (2012) and Portland, OR (2013), the “3rd Marine Spatial Planning Special Paper Session” will highlight or share recent studies, techniques, tools and approaches that are contributing information about seabirds and their habitats to MSP processes and lessons learned, or that are developing spatial data layers in relation to a particular economic development. Contributed papers may focus on a particular sector (e.g., renewable energy or shipping), specific methodologies (e.g., Marxan, modeling), or innovative ideas for incorporating seabird population information into planning processes.

14 Tern Colony Restoration and the Development of Conservation Networks: Breeding and Non-breeding Periods Co-conveners: Drs. Dan Roby, Simba Chan, Shuihua Chen, Don Lyons and Yasuko Suzuki This Special Paper Session seeks to bring seabird researchers, managers, and conservationists together to present their results and discuss their experiences with projects designed to restore populations of terns across the Pacific Basin. Tern restoration can focus on using habitat enhancement and social attraction to restore or create breeding colonies, developing conservation networks of breeding sites, and tracking studies to identify connectivity of breeding sites, migratory stopovers, and overwintering sites. Terns as a taxon exhibit extended post-fledging parental care, are highly vagile, can display high philopatry, but can also select ephemeral sites for nesting. These life history traits pose both opportunities and challenges for restoration of tern species of conservation concern.

Urban Seabirds: Roadblocks and Solutions to Conservation in Urbanized Environments Convener: Dr. David Hyrenbach Seabirds coexist with anthropogenic activities at-sea and on land, occasionally thriving on urbanized settings. This session provides practical lessons for monitoring and managing some of the threats faced by urban seabirds in this complex environment.

Foraging and Breeding Ecology of a High Arctic Auk, the Dovekie Alle alle Co-conveners: Drs. Katarzyna Wojczulanis-Jakubas and Dariusz Jakubas The dovekie (or little auk, Alle alle) breeds exclusively in the High Arctic. As the most numerous seabird in the Arctic, it is an essential component of pelagic food webs in this area. Due to the high cost of foraging, the dovekie forages mainly on copepods associated with cold Arctic waters, larger and energetically more profitable than their counterparts associated with warmer Atlantic waters. Thus, the dovekie is potentially highly susceptible to the impacts of climate change in the Arctic. This SPS will report results of recent multidisciplinary research on various aspects of foraging and breeding ecology and behavior of the dovekie in a changing Arctic. This knowledge is crucial to assess the capacity of marine top predators to buffer the consequences of climate change.

Symposium

Symposium on Ecology and Status of Rare and Threatened Pacific Auks Co-conveners: Drs. John Piatt, Gus van Vliet, and Harry Carter More than 20 years ago, PSG held a symposium on “behavior, ecology and status of the rare alcids" to focus attention on some poorly known species at that time, including Japanese Murrelet, Craveri's Murrelet, Xantus’ Murrelet, Kittilitz's Murrelet, Spectacled Guillemot, Long-billed Murrelet (reported as new species at this symposium), and on population genetics of rare alcids. Much has been learned since then, and much has changed. We have new species (Guadalupe and Scripps's murrelets), new conservation issues, and new tools for study. We propose to revisit this popular group of seabirds, but amend the symposium to be on "rare or threatened Pacific alcids" so as to include the threatened Marbled Murrelet, the small but well-established populations of Dovekie and Black Guillemot, and the threatened population of Tufted Puffin in the U.S. west coast. Invited papers will succinctly update, as much as data permits, the status of each species, and summarize new information on their ecology and conservation. Submitted papers may focus on any aspect of the behavior or ecology of each species, although we will be most interested in papers that add to our understanding of how species respond to current and future threats. Invited and contributed papers will be published in a peer- reviewed symposium proceedings.

15 Information for Presenters, Session Chairs and Judges

Oral Presentations All talks will be limited to a 15-minute time period. Session chairs will be merciless in enforcing time limits for each talk in order to facilitate synchronous start times for each of the three concurrent sessions. To allow time for questions and AV prep, plan to talk for 12 minutes with three minutes for questions. Please be courteous to fellow speakers and practice your talk ahead of time so that you do not run over.

All session rooms will be equipped with a laptop computer, an LCD projector, a microphone and speakers. Please note that only PC computers will be used- if your presentation is formatted for a Mac, it is your responsibility to test that it is functioning properly in windows ahead of time. For presentations requiring audio, we also recommend testing things well in advance. To load your presentation, please do so two breaks ahead of your session by bringing your thumb drive or CD to your session room. If you are speaking after the first morning break, this means showing up before the plenary and loading your talk. This allows everyone time to troubleshoot if necessary. Good luck!

Poster Presentations Create your poster such that it does not exceed 4 ft (~1.2 m) Height x 6 ft (~1.8 m) Width. Posters may be attached to the wall space via Velcro or tacks only. Your poster will be given a number (found in this program), and that corresponding number will appear on the wall of the poster session room (Kahuku I Ballroom) to guide you to where you should hang your poster. The number should be on the left of your poster (i.e. hang your poster to the right of the number).

Please hang your poster no later than 12pm on February 11th, and please take down no earlier than the morning of February 10th, but no later than 5pm on February 10th.

Student Presentation Award Judges Several PSG members have volunteered to judge student oral and poster presentations for awards to be given at the Awards Ceremony after the Banquet on Saturday evening. At the beginning of the conference, judges will meet to be assigned student talks and posters to view. After all the student presentations have been given, judges will again meet to deliberate. The time and location of each meeting will be announced and posted at the message board next to the registration desk.

Session Conveners Thank you for your willingness to help manage the scientific program. You have a critical job in keeping presenters within the time allotted to their talk. We will be running two or three concurrent sessions, all with 15-minute time limits for talks. Please note that the 15 minutes includes your introduction of the speaker, the talk, questions from the audience and transition to the next speaker. At the 12-minute mark, please stand in a location visible to the speaker as a notice to the speaker and the audience that it’s time to wrap up. At the 14- minute mark, it’s time to communicate a more forceful warning- be creative! At the 15-minute point, thank the speaker, and begin your introduction of the next speaker. At the break prior to your session, contact all speakers to confirm the presenter’s name and pronunciation. Session chairs should also confirm that all the session’s talks are loaded onto the laptop and ready to go. In the event of a last minute cancellation, do not move the other talks up a slot and finish early. Instead, leave the cancelled speakers slot as time for discussion so that those in other sessions that have planned on attending specific talks later on in the session do not get thrown off.

16 PLENARY SPEAKER: Thursday, Feb. 11, 2016, 9 am Lisa T. Ballance, PhD Lisa obtained her Ph.D. from the University of California Los Angeles in 1993 and accepted a post‐doctoral position the same year with the National Research Council. She joined NOAA’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) as a marine ecologist in 1996, and has remained there throughout her career. Since 2007 she has been the Director of the Marine Mammal and Turtle Research Division and was recently appointed Chair of the NOAA Fisheries Seabird Program. In addition to her doctorate, she holds a Master of Science degree from Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (1987) and a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of California San Diego (1981). Her research is heavily focused on cetacean and seabird ecology in oceanic systems; recent interests include macroecology , and ecosystem‐based approaches to management. Lisa is also a Professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Research Advisor with the National Academies, and Affiliate Professor at the University of San Diego. She has served on the editorial board of Marine Ornithology and is a Past Chair of the Pacific Seabird Group.

The Life Aquatic – Reflections on the At‐Sea Lives of Seabirds in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean Lisa T. Ballance 1, 2, Robert L. Pitman 1, and Trevor Joyce 2 1 Southwest Fisheries Science Center, NOAA Fisheries, La Jolla, CA, USA; 2Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, CA [email protected]

The eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (ETP) is a vast oceanic region, larger than the continent of Africa; it encompasses over 20 million km2 and represents a sizeable chunk of the world’s tropical oceans. From 1988 to 2006, we spent 2116 days at sea aboard research vessels conducting marine bird surveys here. This dataset has provided insights on tropical seabird abundance, distribution, ecology, physiology, taxonomy, and conservation biology of populations, individual species, guilds and communities, and their roles in tropical ecosystems. Over 100 species of seabirds have been recorded here, 1/3 of the world’s seabird species, including some 50 breeding residents and regular visitors. Although there are remarkably few potential breeding islands for seabirds in the ETP, these islands are globally significant. For example, five species of sulids breed in the ETP and all five have their largest colonies here, including two endemic and three pantropical species. This lack of breeding islands also means that the vast majority of the seabird community is made up of seasonal visitors, birds that nest elsewhere but come to feed after the breeding season. The ETP seabird community is also more diverse and more abundant than that in any other tropical ocean, due primarily to highly productive (for a tropical ocean) waters and the pivotal role of abundant yellowfin tuna, which in addition to supporting a huge tuna fishery, are also crucial for making prey available at the surface for foraging seabirds. This retrospective look at the oceanic lives of seabirds in this unique ecosystem will highlight these and other research findings, and offer some “lessons learned” for the future of at‐sea seabird science.

17 PLENARY SPEAKER: Friday, Feb. 12, 2016, 8:30 am

William J. Sydeman, PhD

Dr. William (Bill) Sydeman is a veteran seabird and ecosystem ecologist and has been an active participant in the PSG community since 1986.

New Tricks, Old Dogs, Seabird Resilience, and No‐Analog Ecosystems

William J. Sydeman, President & Senior Scientist, Farallon Institute for Advanced Ecosystem Research, Petaluma, CA USA, [email protected]

The Pacific Ocean has experienced remarkable variability over the past 5 years including development of the so‐called BLOB in late 2013, regional anomalies in surface and subsurface ocean properties, culminating in the ongoing 2015‐1016 ENSO event, one of the most substantial on record. Increasing variability in the Pacific climate system may be tracked back to an apparent tipping point around 1990. The sequence and evolution of these new events is unprecedented in the era of ocean monitoring and has resulted in complex responses in seabird populations. In this presentation I describe the processes underlying recent climate‐ecosystem variability in the Pacific, regional variability in seabird responses, and potential pathways of response. The ability of Pacific seabirds to buffer and/or recover from ongoing and future shifts in the Pacific climate‐ecosystem state will be discussed.

18 SPECIAL ACHEIVEMENT AWARD RECIPIENTS

Lindsay Young Lindsay Young is the executive director of Pacific Rim Conservation, a non-profit organization she co-founded with Eric VanderWerf to address research and management needs of native species across the Pacific. She earned a B.S. from the Univ. of British Columbia and an MS and Ph.D. in zoology from the Univ. of Hawaii. Lindsay has specialized in creating “mainland islands” through predator proof fencing followed by habitat restoration and seabird attraction and translocation. She was the project coordinator for the Kaena Point Ecosystem Restoration Project which installed the first predator proof fence in the U.S. at Kaena Point on Oahu in 2011 and eradicated all predators soon after. In 2014 she oversaw the construction of a predator proof fence at Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge followed by intensive habitat restoration in anticipation of translocating Hawaiian Petrels and Newell’s Shearwaters. The first Hawaiian Petrel translocation at the site was successfully completed in the fall of 2015 and will be followed by translocating Newell’s Shearwaters in 2016. Her research has been focused on the demography of Laysan Albatrosses, and, in particular, the evolutionary significance of same sex pairing in that species. Lindsay has authored several dozen scientific papers, served as the treasurer for the Pacific Seabird Group, the local chair of PSG twice, the chair of the North Pacific Albatross Working Group, the North Pacific correspondent for ACAP (Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels).

The Pacific Seabird Group awards Lindsay Young with a Special Achievement Award in recognition of her perseverance to protect and conserve Hawaiian seabirds and her sustained commitment to the Pacific Seabird Group,

Gus van Vliet Gus van Vliet began his studies of seabirds as an undergraduate at the University of Michigan and over the subsequent decades has conducted marine bird research in northern Norway, Gulf of Alaska, Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, Chukchi Sea, northern Canada, and the northwest Pacific Ocean. Much of his work has been in close collaboration with others, particularly Alan Springer and John Piatt, and has generally been ecological in nature. Biological oceanography and trophic webs have been a driving interest, with emphasis on top-down controls within marine food webs, including marine mammals and salmon. In the early 1990s his two commentaries on Kittlitz’s Murrelets, published in the PSG Bulletin, were the first to sound an alarm over population trends, climate change, and the status of this enigmatic seabird. He continues to be an astute observer of patterns in marine ecosystems and how seabirds and marine mammals are directly and indirectly involved. He has just retired after a 25-year career at the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, having worked within all pollution media (i.e., air quality, water quality, contaminated sites, and oil spill response/prevention).

In recognition of his pioneering contributions to the conservation of Kittlitz’s and Marbled Murrelets in Alaska and his decades of commitment to understand and protect these mysterious seabirds, PSG honors Gus Van Vliet with a Special Achievement Award.

19 LIFETIME ACHEIVEMENT AWARD RECIPIENT John F. Piatt

John Piatt got hooked on seabirds in 1973 after spending a few nights on Gull Island, Newfoundland-- site of the largest Leach's Storm-petrel and Atlantic Puffin colony in the Northwest Atlantic. While he subsequently pursued an undergraduate degree in biochemistry, three summers in the 1970’s were spent working as a naturalist at Cape St. Mary’s gannetry, thereby cementing his love affair with seabirds. John switched his field of study to marine biology during the 1980s, and for his graduate program at Memorial University of Newfoundland he assessed the impacts of gill-net bycatch and oil pollution on seabirds, and then studied the behavioral ecology of Common Murre and Atlantic Puffin predation on capelin— the most abundant forage fish in the frigid waters of eastern Newfoundland. Lured to Alaska in 1987 by the opportunity to study auklets at St. Lawrence Island, and still employed today by the Department of the Interior (USGS Alaska Science Center) in Anchorage, John has spent the past 29 years studying seabirds, forage fish and marine ecosystems throughout Alaska and the North Pacific. This included documenting the impact of the Exxon Valdez oil spill on seabirds, and examining how natural variability in forage fish communities affects the biology, behavior and physiology of seabirds at their colonies. In more recent years, John conducted studies of oceanography, forage fish and birds in glacial-fjord ecosystems in the Gulf of Alaska and in passes of the Aleutian archipelago. John is an author on more than 250 published articles and agency reports, enjoying collaborations with a large number of colleagues around the globe. Among his professional activities, he has served as editor for The Auk and Marine Ecology Progress Series, as a graduate student advisor and affiliate professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland, the University of Washington and Oregon State University, as Chair of the Pacific Seabird Group, and as a science advisor to the North Pacific Research Board. John continues to be fascinated by the Auk family of seabirds, a passion shared by his wife, Nancy Naslund. John and Nancy (and until recent fledging, their six children) reside in Port Townsend, Washington, on the Flying Auk Ranch, alongside a menagerie of dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, ducks, chickens and horses.

In recognition of his significant achievements and impacts in the fields of seabird ecology, fisheries science, and marine conservation, the Pacific Seabird Group honors John Piatt for over 25 years of scientific leadership, international collaboration, and the creation of the North Pacific Pelagic Seabird Database with a Lifetime Achievement Award.

20 LIFETIME ACHEIVEMENT AWARD RECIPIENT

Larry B. Spear, (1945 – 2006)

Larry Spear received his BS, with Honors, from the Department of Wildlife & Fisheries Biology, University of California, Davis, in 1978; and his MS in Marine Science, Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, in 1986. The latter required him living in his car for three years, traveling up and down the West Coast from Seattle to San Diego, stopping at all the fish-processing plants, dumps, and river mouths, and keeping track of two cohorts of Western Gulls that he had banded as chicks on the Farallones. His thesis, “Dispersal in the Western Gull,” was published in The Auk. He went on to write 11 papers about Western gull life-history strategies, from hatching to senescence, published in The Auk (3X), Journal of Animal Ecology (2X), Studies in Avian Biology, The Condor and elsewhere. His piece in Natural History Magazine, about how a Halloween mask can fool gulls into mis- identifying humans, was recognized by the magazine as the article of the decade. He then set out to understand the at-sea ecology of seabirds. He pioneered the correction of ‘flux,’ whereby the speed and direction of a bird relative to the speed and direction of the research platform, transforms what we perceive as bird ‘density.’ He developed the only existing technique to accurately determine the population size of burrow-nesting species (published in Journal of Applied Ecology) from at sea data. Perhaps his greatest contribution is a series of papers, 33 thus far, was his investigation of the at-sea biology of seabirds, including those of the Southern Ocean and the Eastern tropical Pacific. Within that body of work he showed convincingly that, indeed, many seabirds do feed at night; rediscovered the thought-to-be extinct Fregetta grallaria titan subspecies of White-bellied Storm-Petrel; showed that eating plastic does negatively affect seabird well-being; discovered mimicry in Kermadec Petrels that was of a form not yet described in vertebrates; revealed how morphological differences between polar and tropical seabirds related to their respective windfields; described the Pacific-basin-wide migration of Sooty Shearwaters, now confirmed by satellite telemetry; and estimated the true population of the Hawaiian Petrel, much higher than thought at the time - but now confirmed by the discovery of new nesting populations. Since his death two monographs of his have been published, one on the diet of an entire mid-ocean seabird fauna, and the other on the at-sea biology of storm-petrels of the eastern Pacific. Larry’s legacy also lives on in museum collections; he was a master taxidermist whose study skins with their associated data continue to make significant contributions to our knowledge of seabirds.

In recognition of a passionate scientist whose unstinting focus on solving unanswered questions about seabirds led to many profound discoveries, the Pacific Seabird Group honors Larry Spear posthumously with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
