American Samoa’s Dept. of Marine & Wildlife Resources wildlife team led by Wildlife Biologist Jeff Vaitoa and Wildlife technicians Lalakai Taiseni and Opeta Mekuli set out to hike the steep hills of Fagaitua deploying sound recorders to detect the presence and movements of seabirds in the eastern district. This is an ongoing Seabird Project in partnership with our friends from Archipelago Research and Conservation. [Facebook photo]
