AWSG have undertaken research for 30+ continuous years. Roebuck Bay and Eighty Mile Beach are the most important shorebird sites in Australia (>550,000 birds). AWSG have undertaken research for 30+ continuous years. Populations surveys Migration studies (banding, flagging, telemetry) Disturbance and roost choice studies Feeding ecology and invertebrate communities Determine population trends and drivers to guide management and policy. Pressures: Local: Disturbance, increased nutrient inputs, mangrove incursion. International: Large-scale reclamation projects in the Yellow Sea. Photos: Kim Onton, Adrian Boyle

Current research priorities Analysis of the effects of the loss of the Saemangeum estuary in South Korea on north west Australian shorebird populations. Analysis of changing roost site preference in Roebuck Bay in response to local habitat pressures. Ongoing surveys and studies in north west Australia, enabling shorebird populations in the region to continue to act as a barometer for the health of both local ecosystems and for shorebird populations throughout the entire East Asian-Australasian Flyway.
