As part of the continuation of the Winter Waterbird Census Program, the Libyan Society for Birds carried out field visits on Saturday, January 21, 2017, covering several key sites in Tripoli and its surroundings. These included Sebkha Al-Mallaha in Mitiga, Tajoura Beach, Tripoli Beach including the port area, as well as Qergarish Beach.

These efforts fall within the framework of the International Waterbird Census (IWC), which aims to monitor the status of migratory waterbirds, record their numbers and distribution, and reaffirm Libya’s commitment to participating in this global program.
