What we're looking for
Thankfully we have seen a decline in oil pollution in recent decades, but the continued presence of oiled seabirds on our beaches is a clear indicator of whether this process continues and to what extent the dangers of pollution remain. This is why we need you to help us to undertake a Beached Bird Survey. With your help we can cover as much of the Dumfries & Galloway coastline as possible, in a co-ordinated count of birds washed ashore.
