Lajes Airmen campaign, help birds return to sea

The Lajes Cory's Shearwater Rescue Campaign is on the road in support of the Azores SOS Cagarro campaign Oct. 15 through Nov. 15. Also known as Cagarro in Portuguese, the Cory's Shearwater sea bird is unique in that 75 percent of the world's population mates here in the Azorean archipelago. As such, these birds are protected by Portuguese and international laws, and the people of the Azores have a very important role in the conservation of this species.
