Description: The Gulf Coast Bird Observatory (GCBO) was founded in 1997 to address declining bird populations through avian research and the protection of Gulf coastal habitat utilized as stopover by migratory birds. The Gulf region is shared among three countries—the United States, Mexico, and Cuba—and eleven U.S. and Mexican states. The Gulf Coast Bird Observatory (GCBO) has established a Site Partner Network to assist the conservation work of partner organizations and sites throughout this region. This network of sites currently includes 54 partners throughout this area responsible for over 8 million acres of coastal habitat. Fifteen of these partner sites protect Gulf coastal habitat outside the United States—seven in the Yucatan Peninsula, seven in the Mexican provinces of Veracruz and Tamaulipas, and one in western Cuba. By being part of this Site Partner Network, the conservation partners around the Gulf of Mexico benefit from information exchange, fundraising assistance, publicity, etc.
