Dr Eric Woehler (OAM) is a seabird and shorebird ecologist based in nipaluna/Hobart, lutruwita/Tasmania. He has actively been involved in research directed towards conservation and management of birds and their habitats for his entire life. Eric is actively engaged with community-based efforts to protect coastal birds, using analyses of long-term data sets to provide evidence-based, data-driven guidance and advice to land managers.

Eric's current research foci are (1) population assessments (status, distribution and trends) of beach-nesting birds in lutruwita/Tasmania, including islands, and (2) seabirds at sea related to physical and biological oceanography. Seabirds at sea observations are undertaken from oceanographic research vessels linked with underway data to investigate oceanographic influences in seabirds' distributions and abundances at sea.
