The island is teeming with so many birds that their eggs and young chicks were once harvested for food. It was a beautiful day to be out on the water, and in no time, we were cruising around Craigleith with Atlantic Puffins , Razorbills , Common Murres , and Black-legged Kittiwakes.

Having shown us the bird, the boat, and the water, Fox then introduces herself: “Albatrosses, petrels, fulmars, puffins and gulls live out their lives along these transect lines; my job is to count them all.”. This is the story of Fox’s experiences on board the Achiever, the research vessel of the Raincoast Conservation Foundation.
