Reinstate funding for Skomer Island's Guillemot monitoring

This cut is really badly timed and, after so many years, it's obviously vital to continue it.

This bird is under huge pressure from environmental damage caused by humans. We need to know how to help it.

South Yorkshire

Such an important cause and we need to protect essential research that provides long term solutions

It seems a shame to cut funding of such a long term study at atime when the UK's internationally important seabirds under under such threats as offshore windfarms and climate change, and yet we now have technology that can give new insigths into their lives away from the breeding ledges that can be linked to breeding colony studies

Shortsighted penny pinching!

Skomer is such an amazing place. Please preserve it.

Skomer is an absolutely amazing place and the guillemot study is hugely important for monitoring long-term changes in seabird populations. it is very rare to have access to long-term data and this shouldn't be thrown away!

Long term data sets are essential tools for our understanding of any populations. Monitoring sea bird populations not only helps us understand the threats facing them, but also gives vital insight into what is going on beneath the waves, with the fish species they survive on.

please do not cut the funding for this vital research

Our seabirds need all the help they can get, and long term research work to monitor their situation is crucial.

Buckinghamshire

By careful wildlife study we can spot environmental changes that we ourselves cause and hopefully take action before we damage these delicate systems beyond repair

RSPB member. Round Skomer Island April 2014. Would support continuation of Guillemot monitoring study.
