Sound science contributing to the protection of the birds and their habitats around the Gulf of Mexico is at the core of GCBO’s mission.
GCBO has many ongoing research projects studying vulnerable species in the region, and the threats that they are facing.
Our research goal is to accumulate, assess, and distribute high quality bird population and conservation information that will educate as well as provide a scientific basis for the protection of birds and their habitats around the Gulf of Mexico and beyond. We work with local and national partners to sponsor a number of avian monitoring programs described here.
