Monitoring Yellow Sea Migrants in Australia (MYSMA)

In non-breeding season, North-western Australia is home to more migratory shorebirds than any other region in Australia and arguably in the East Asian – Australasian flyway. The most important two sites in north-western Australia are Roebuck Bay and Eighty-mile Beach, both of which are designated as Ramsar areas. This report presents findings from workshops and extensive shorebird and waterbird surveys carried out in north-western Australia in December 2008.

The 2006-2008 Saemangeum Shorebird Monitoring Program Report (English and Korean)

The Saemangeum Shorebird Monitoring Program (SSMP) was initiated in 2006 by Birds Korea and The Australasian Wader Studies Group. The aim of the SSMP is to monitor and publicise changes in shorebird numbers during northward migration (April/May) 2006-2008 at Saemangeum and the adjacent Gomso Bay and Geum Estuary (collectively known as the SSMP Study Site). The SSMP links with the Monitoring Yellow Sea Migrants in Australia (MYSMA) program, and was supplemented by a national shorebird survey in the ROK in May 2008.
