Working Group
About SCAW
GOALS
Both short-term and long-term goals have been established for the group.

BACKGROUND
First organized in 2017, the group seeks to monitor, manage & conserve seabird breeding colonies, habitats and prey species along the North American Atlantic and Gulf coasts using collaborative, consistent, science-based approaches.

FOCAL SPECIES
Five focal species were chosen to best represent all range-wide waterbirds.

REGIONAL
SUB-GROUPS
Geographic sub-groups were created by proximity, similar habitat types, and joint management issues.
