The Story
This E-Gift could pay for gloves or thermal underclothes to keep a researcher warm when working in sub-zero temperatures.
Climate change is a growing concern for penguins that live in Antarctica— including the emperor penguin and the Adelie penguin. These species depend on sea ice for access to food and for places to breed. But the sea ice has been disappearing, and penguin populations along with it.
Our aim is to evaluate the long-term impact of changes in sea ice on the foraging and breeding success of Adélie and emperor penguins.
Our findings will contribute towards the development of the East Antarctica Marine Protected Area proposal, which will ensure that fisheries are sustainable and aim to eliminate illegal, unregulated, and unreported fishing.
