The Australasian Seabird Group, the oldest of Birdlife Australia Special Interest Groups, was formed in 1971. Its objectives are to promote seabird research and conservation in Australasia. The ASG pursues its objectives through the coordination of its Beach Patrol project, publication of the ASG Bulletin and other seabird material, the organisation of symposia on issues affecting seabirds, and the presentation of expert opinion on the management and conservation of seabird populations in Australasia.
Famous quotes containing the word group:
“If the Russians have gone too far in subjecting the child and his peer group to conformity to a single set of values imposed by the adult society, perhaps we have reached the point of diminishing returns in allowing excessive autonomy and in failing to utilize the constructive potential of the peer group in developing social responsibility and consideration for others.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
