Puffins and other seabirds face serious threats from climate change 👇 The lesser sandeel is a key part of the food web, supporting seabirds and other species. Warming seas impact the types of plankton living in UK waters, and this affects how many sandeels there are. This means species that depend on sandeels, like puffins and other seabirds, have less of this valuable food source. As a result, they are having to travel further to find suitable food or feed on less nutritional fish, sometimes resulting in starving chicks. Your input on projects like #Puffarazzi, as well as monitoring by scientists to record changes in seabird diet is helping us understand how they are faring with climate change. We're also calling for a different approach to managing the sandeel fishery. Be a part of climate conversations and action by taking part in #GreatBigGreenWeek and Scotland’s #ClimateFringeWeek!
