Really interesting #PhD opportunity combining #LocalEcologicalKnowledge and #science to better understand changes in #seabird distributions over time in the context of #InvasiveSpecies.

Title, authors’ names, and abstract from a paper about the value of incorporating local ecological knowledge of fishers in fisheries management decisions
