The Seabird Group supports research, survey, and conservation of seabirds. It awards small grants each year, with priority to Seabird Group members working on Atlantic seabirds. In recent years grants (up to £500) have been given towards ringing studies and census work, including projects in Orkney and Shetland, Caithness, on Sanda, Argyllshire islands in the Firth of Forth, as well as to projects outside the UK such as Portugal and Alaska. Other grants have been given towards work such as censusing Storm Petrels and Manx Shearwaters, assessing productivity and survival of Great and Arctic Skuas, and seawatching projects, including the monitoring of Balearic Shearwaters.
The maximum grant is usually £500 per project. Applications should be submitted, preferably in electronic form, to the Secretary using the official application form available from the secretary or from the site.
Deadline: 31 October, 2020
