Abstract
The PSG 2022 “Local” Organizing Committee would like to welcome you to the 49 th Annual Meeting of the Pacific Seabird Group. Building on the success of our 2021 meeting, it is once again an honor to bring you a completely virtual event. The decision to hold this meeting virtually was hard and not taken lightly. The San Diego Local Organizing Committee did a considerable amount of work to make an in-person meeting happen, and we hope that we can enjoy the warm hospitality of San Diego during some February or March in the future.
This meeting will feature some of the most popular elements of our last virtual meeting, including virtual field trips, interactive social events, an incredible scientific program, and a fully virtual silent auction, while providing a high level of engagement for participants. And with a virtual format this meeting also allows us to significantly decrease our carbon footprint compared to our traditional in-person meetings.
