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:
“Even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbour’s household, and, underneath, another—secret and passionate and intense—which is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends. Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
