Princeville Moʻolelo Free Lecture Series: “Help Save Our Shearwaters”

Tuesday, August 20th, 2024 at 5:00 pm6:30 pm

Free

The Friends of Kauaʻi Wildlife Refuges Princeville Moʻolelo free lecture series will continue on Tuesday, August 20, 2024 with Jacqueline Nelson, Senior Program Manager for Save Our Shearwaters (SOS).

Each year, from September to December, thousands of fledgling shearwaters and petrels make their first journey out to sea from the safety of their burrows. However, their first flight isn’t always so simple. They are instinctually guided by the light of the moon out to the ocean, but lights from urbanization can cause them to become disoriented and land in inappropriate locations. Once grounded they are usually unable to take flight again and become vulnerable to a wide variety of threats. This is referred to as “fallout”, impacting hundreds of light-attracted shearwaters on Kaua‘i each year. With fallout season around the corner, Jacqueline will address ways to support native birds during this time and provide an overview of the Save Our Shearwaters program.

Free Lecture Series: Tuesday, August 20, 2024 at 5pm in the Princeville Community Center. The presentation will also be available via Zoom. For more information, visit www.kauairefuges.org/princeville-moolelo.
