Long terms studies of long lived animals are very important - how can we ever manage them without the data? Its like a farmer not knowing what his crop is like or a banker not knowing his return rates

Long term monitoring of species and populations is vitally important to help measure the health of UK biodiversity, plus these studies are the training grounds of many future field biologists. The budget is so small in the scheme of things - hopefully we can reverse this decision.

It continually disappoints me how, in times of huge conservation need (arguably bigger than ever before for seabirds), government are turning a blind eye and letting our wildlife down. It is quite a monumental fail! This is just another example of it. This study is unique and important and should continue.

Another great resource under threat and such an important data set at such an important time.
