This week with Jennifer and Andrew Lavers and Alice Forrest was to try and retrieve TLD loggers deployed in October 2014.
These are devices to record any trace radioactivity the birds may have been exposed to on their winter sojourn around the Sea of Japan.
Alice also began study into trace elements that may be accumulating in fish from exposure to plastic in the ocean.
Lord Howe Island fish will be compared with those found in seas off Philippines and Marquesas’.
