In the fall of 2002, Tufts Center for Conservation Medicine (Tufts CCM) / Wildlife Clinic established SEANET. A network of over 60 seabird and ecological health organizations from Canada to New Jersey has been established. ‘Citizen-scientist' beached bird surveys are ongoing, with over 300 volunteers collecting data on seabird mortality during monthly or more frequent beach walks. Data on marine and coastal bird population distribution, ocean contamination, and coastal land use are being collected for a GIS-based repository.
