The Atlantic Seaduck Project is being conducted to learn more about the breeding and molting areas of seaducks in northern Canada and more about the feeding ecology of seaducks on wintering areas, especially Chesapeake Bay.

Connectivity among annual cycle stages, rates of site fidelity, and the geographic scale of dispersal are largely unknown for Pacific Barrow’s Goldeneye (BAGO).

More than half of North American sea duck populations have apparently declined over the past 2-3 decades, although reasons for declines are unknown.
This study is a large scale, multi-year, collaborative project that will use satellite telemetry to document annual migration patterns and habitat use.
