The main objectives of FUGLAN VEIT are to generate new knowledge and public awareness about seabirds as part of coastal heritage, and to improve and safeguard the nesting situation for red-listed and endangered coastal seabirds, through new alliances and collaboration between scientific experts and local knowledge-holders in traditional seabird practices that centres on more-than-human approaches.

FUGLAN VEIT is a transdisciplinary, collaborative research project that aims to examine and understand shared human-avian histories and create new lines of thought and action that ensure co-existence in times of alarming declines in seabird populations. The main research area is northern Norway and Sápmi. The project is led by UiT, in collaboration with Sámi Allaskuvla, NINA, Tromsø and local partners in Vega, Vardø and Porsanger.
