CAFF introduces an International Ivory Gull Conservation Strategy and Action Plan
CAFFs Cbird-committee has produced an International Ivory Gull Conservation Strategy and Action Plan. The goal of this strategy and action plan is to facilitate circumpolar implementation of initiatives to conserve and protect the Ivory Gull in the circumpolar Arctic. To achieve this goal, twenty specific action items have been defined.
The Ivory Gull (Pagophila eburnean) is a high Arctic seabird which is often associated with sea ice throughout the year. In spite of an early discovery by Jonas Poole in 1609, it still remains one of the most poorly known seabird species in the world. The Ivory Gull breeds at high latitudes in the Atlantic sector of the Arctic. Small, scattered colonies occur in Arctic Canada, Greenland, Svalbard (Norway), and the northern islands of Russia in the Barents and Kara seas.
