About Friends of Cooper Island

Friends of Cooper Island (FCI) is a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit scientific organization focused on compiling, preserving, and distributing vital research on Cooper Island. This research is crucial for current and future studies on climate change and other Arctic phenomena. With nearly five decades of data collection, FCI ensures that the rigorous standards set by George, the lead researcher, are maintained annually. The organization also develops educational outreach programs that engage both children and adults, making the complex issues of climate change accessible and relatable.

Impact of Our Work

FCI's long-term study of seabirds in the Arctic is increasingly significant as the effects of global warming become more pronounced. The unique half-century dataset provides unprecedented evidence of the biological impacts of diminishing Arctic sea ice, educating the public and informing government officials about the realities of climate change.
