On March 11 & 12, 2008, a meeting was convened with the intention of focusing on the status, management, conservation, and research of seabirds in the Southeastern U.S. The meeting was held in Charlestown, SC and was organized by Felicia Sanders at SC DNR. The hope of the attendees was to share information, develop a network of contacts for others working with similar species in the region, and begin to discuss regional and long-term monitoring plans.
Below are links to the agenda, attendance list, meeting notes, and to several of the presentations.

Meeting Purpose is for managers and researchers who work on seabirds in the SE to exchange ideas and to coordinate efforts. The focus will be on near shore foraging and beach nesting seabirds.
