  1. A simple experiment… Pelican feathers dipped in seawater, foam, and sediment Foam exposure coats the feathers, collapses the down and allows the water to contact the skin Source: M. Miller, CDFG

  2. Non-Oiled Fulmar used to test effects of “red tide” foam on bird feathers Foam Seawater Source: M. Miller, CDFG

  3. Verification! We reproduced the same effects in the lab… Unhealthy cells produce a proteinaceous material with the same chemical properties as the foam tested from the beach and birds
