What is the MCP?
The Migratory Connectivity Project is an initiative to advance the science of full life cycle biology through:
1) Studying migratory connectivity and seasonal interactions at multiple temporal and spatial scales.
2) Advancing the development and use of technology for tracking animals.
3) Facilitating and integrating the use of migratory connectivity data, models, and analyses.
4) Providing expertise to government and non-government partners.
5) Educating the public as to the importance of understanding and applying the concepts of migratory connectivity.
