This presentation by George Divoky from Friends of Cooper Island was given during the 2012 Arctic Ocean Ecosystem Workshop, 18 May – 24 May in Barrow, Alaska. The presentation highlights the shift in food source for the black guillemot seabird on the northern coast of Alaska caused by the loss of summer ice. The presentation describes how the guillemots are adapting to their changing environment and the efforts of the Friends of Cooper Island, a non-profit scientific organization based in Seattle, Washington, to monitor their activities and breeding success through the use of nest boxes, data loggers and long term observations.
