Lindsay Young

Lindsay Young is an avian conservation biologist who has published over 110 journal articles and technical reports on Pacific Seabirds.

In 2009, she and a team of researchers discovered that Laysan Albatross on Kure Atoll ingested more than ten times the amount of plastic than those on the island of O`ahu.

This project also included intensive habitat restoration to make the area suitable for translocation of Newell’s Shearwaters and Hawaiian Petrels.

[7] For over a decade, Young studied the benefits of female-female nesting pairs in a Laysan Albatross colony on northwest O`ahu.

[9] In 2017, Young helped translocate baby Black-footed Albatross from Midway Atoll to O`ahu in a "head start program" that avoided rising sea level threats to their original habitat.
