Coastal Biologist, Lindsay Addison, will lead us through some of the shorebirds that nest on our beaches.

Lindsay has been Audubon NC’s coastal biologist since 2011. In this role, Lindsay, and the staff members she supervises, manages and monitors about 40% of the waterbirds that nest on North Carolina’s coast. She serves on the American Oystercatcher Working Group’s Steering Committee, coordinates North Carolina’s statewide oystercatcher banding program, and collaborates with academic and agency partners around the state on science and monitoring projects. Lindsay earned her undergraduate degree at Stetson University and her M.S. at Florida Gulf Coast University, where she studied Least Terns nesting on natural beaches and rooftops. She has worked in birds and conservation since 2005, in Florida, Massachusetts, and California, and is grateful to have been born and raised in southwest Florida.
