Tracking Rehabilitated Brown Pelicans: A Breakthrough in Wildlife Research

When a rehabilitated pelican is released back into the wild, what happens next? Does it survive? Where does it go? These are the critical questions driving researcher and principal investigator Deborah Jaques of Pacific Eco Logic. In partnership with the Oiled Wildlife Care Network (OWCN), Pelican Science, and a host of collaborators across the U.S. and Mexico, Jaques and her team are tracking the post-rehabilitation movements and survival of California Brown Pelicans.
