Almost ready!

The team has now come together in the Southern-most town of mainland New Zealand: Invercargill. The gear is clean, the paperwork is done, the meetings are over, and we are all extremely excited to get onto Codfish Island (Whenua Hou) tomorrow afternoon! Lets just hope that the unusually beautiful weather down here holds for another day...

About This Project

The South Georgia Diving Petrel is a tiny, highly specialized, wing-propelled diver; a 'flying penguin'. The New Zealand population is nationally critical and numbers 150 individuals only. Storms are the main terrestrial threat, but offshore threats remain unknown. Complete understanding of all threats is paramount to guide successful conservation management. Thanks to generous backers, it may also be possible to assess juvenile mortality to further fine-tune conservation management.

Blast off!
