KEKAHA, Hawaii (Jan. 24, 2025) Tessa Broholm, a wildlife biologist, briefs sailors assigned to the Pacific Missile Range Facility, Barking Sands, prior to the annual “egg-sweep” where personnel scour the installation grounds in search of albatross nesting areas and eggs. The egg-sweep is part of the Laysan Albatross Translocation Program, in support of the Bird Aircraft Strike Hazard initiative, transferring albatross and their eggs from the installation to more hospitable areas on other parts of the island. The goal is to keep the birds away from aircraft, and reduce the strike threat to the animals, personnel and equipment. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Louis Lea)
