Fiji Petrel Expedition - Participants Needed


Fiji Petrel Expedition, Fiji Islands 08, on its way - looking for two more keen participants

Hadoram Shirihai and Dick Watling (the former is responsible for the rediscovery of Beck's Petrel and the latter the Fiji Petrels) are just about one month before starting the at sea Fiji Petrel Expedition, 16 to 26 July 2008. The goal of the voyage is to document the continued survival of Fiji Petrel, one of the World's least known seabirds, and survey the Fijian waters for other poorly known petrels and cetaceans.

Dick and Hadoram have now chartered a larger vessel, the 'Summer Spirit', and are looking for two additional participants. In this unique expedition the number of participants (beside Dick and Hadoram) is limited to five participants only. If you like to join this unique pelagic expedition please contact Hadoram at albatross_shirihai[at symbol]hotmail.com
